Brad Poirier

A towering defensive force, this fiery Canadian center-back uses his explosive vertical leap and surgical slide tackling to dominate the backline. Overcoming a childhood fear of darkness by training alone in the dead of night, he turned that anxiety into an aggressive, relentless intensity that terrifies opposing strikers. While his decision-making can occasionally be overruled by his burning hot temper, his sheer physical dominance and tireless engine make him an elite presence on the pitch.
