Isaiah Parente (born March 16, 2000) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy.

Early career

A youth product of Team Challenger FC, Parente played on the same team as future Columbus Crew teammate Sean Zawadzki.[2] Parente was also part of the Columbus Crew Academy between 2015 and 2018, making a total of 68 appearances and scoring 15 goals.[3][4]

In 2018, Parente went to play college soccer at Wake Forest University. During his time with the Demon Deacons, he was noted as "a consistent catalyst for Wake Forest's attack," and would go on to make 50 appearances, scoring 3 goals and tallying 19 assists.[5][6]

During 2019, Parente also appeared for USL League Two side Flint City Bucks, who went on to win the league championship.[7]

Professional career

Columbus Crew

Parente was announced as a homegrown player signing by Columbus Crew on January 11, 2021,[8] and made his professional debut on April 8, appearing as a 77th-minute substitute during a 4–0 win against Real Estelí in the round of 16 of the CONCACAF Champions League.[9] He scored his first two goals for Columbus on May 10, 2023 in a U.S Open Cup game against Loudoun United.[10] Parente featured sparingly for the first team, making 20 appearances across all competitions over three seasons. Most of his playing time came with the reserve side,[11] where he won the MLS Next Pro Cup in 2022, and was named to the MLS Next Pro Best XI.[12][13] At the conclusion of the 2023 MLS season, Parente was released.[14]

LA Galaxy

During the beginning of the 2024 season, Parente signed with LA Galaxy reserve side Ventura County FC, and made 16 appearances before singeing a first-team contract with the Galaxy on July 12, 2024.[15]

Playing style

A set-piece specialist, Parente has been described by head coach Greg Vanney as "a balancer, a guy who plays fast, gives his time to other people. He has a high level of field awareness, which allows him to play fast and find good positions."[16]

Personal life

Born in the United States, Parente is of Italian descent.[17]
