Sean Suber enters his first season with the Battery after signing a multi-year deal ahead of the 2026 season.
A marquee addition, Suber joins following a banner year with Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC. Suber won the USL Championship title, converting in the penalty shootout, was a Defender of the Year finalist and was named All-League First Team.
Suber, 24, was among Pittsburgh’s central figures in their title-winning run. One of just three players to play every minute of the regular season in 2025, Suber led the league with 204 clearances, also a Hounds record, and tied for the league lead with 116 headed clearances. He ranked sixth in the league among defenders with a +5.41 Goals Added mark.
Suber initially joined Pittsburgh in 2024, where he quickly established himself as one of the Hounds’ top players, alongside former teammate and current Battery defender Langston Blackstock. Suber was top-three on the team in clearances (second), blocks (second, tied) and aerial duels won (third) across the regular season and playoffs.
A native of Charlotte, North Carolina, Suber was an all-conference player at UNC Charlotte and captained the team his senior year. He was subsequently selected by Nashville SC in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft and then competed for their MLS NEXT Pro side, Huntsville City FC, for his rookie campaign. Suber led Huntsville in appearances, minutes played and clearances.
Back in the Carolinas after winning the league crown, Suber is ready to make his mark in Charleston.
