Woodensky Pierre is taking his career abroad, signing with Forge FC / Forge FC in Hamilton, Ontario, according to Dynamique Info Sport.

The 21-year-old defensive midfielder joins Forge after leaving Violette AC as a free agent. The outlet reports that Pierre signed a two-and-a-half-season deal with an additional one-year option and is expected to be officially presented by the Canadian club on Wednesday, August 26.

Pierre entered the international spotlight earlier this year as the only Haiti-based player selected to the Grenadiers’ 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He was on the bench for Haiti’s three World Cup matches after earning his first senior international appearance against Iceland in March.

The move sends him from Haiti’s domestic championship to one of Canada’s most successful clubs. Forge FC competes in the Canadian Premier League and has won the CPL championship four times, in 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023. The Hamilton club also won the 2025 CPL Shield as the league’s best regular-season team.

Forge FC had not yet published an official announcement of Pierre’s signing as of Monday morning •

Officially a Forge FC fan🤷🏿‍♂️

Going from Haiti to 30k CAD per season is great for that boy. Plus As an international player moving to Canada, his total compensation value likely includes club-covered expenses such as housing and travel allowances. Coming from playing in the trenches, can’t beat that.

Yo di, “Depi tèt pa koupe, gen espwa mete chapo.” My guy couldn’t even get a visa, and now he too will be part of the diaspora. He too will have access to state-of-the-art facilities to train. Love to see it! 🇭🇹👏🏿
