University of Memphis defender Hayden Anderson has played a pivotal role in the success of both teams he has played for:
2019-2021 University of South Carolina-Upstate
2022-2023 University of Memphis
During his time at Memphis, Anderson scored the team’s first goal of the year in their 5-0 shutout over Queens, as well as assisted on the game-tying goal in the team’s comeback win against Central Arkansas. Prior to transferring his senior year, the defender was named to the Big South All-Conference Second Team and earned Defensive Player of the Week while at USC Upstate. In his first season with the Spartans, Anderson scored the game-winning goal against the Gamecocks, leading the program to their first-ever victory over South Carolina.
“In my introductory press conference, I stressed the importance of signing local players, and Hayden is the first of those. He has a good pedigree, playing at Woodmont High and USC Upstate before transferring to Memphis. He had a great college career and we are expecting good things out of him. Hayden is a good athlete, with good technical skills and a good soccer sense. We’re excited to have him on board for 2024.”
Greenville Triumph Head Coach, Rick Wright
As a Greenville County native, Anderson has continuously proven himself to the city with his skill and dedication. Excelling on both his high school team at Woodmont High and his club team, CESA Greenville, this star defender should definitely be a local favorite for the 2024 season.
