The Haitian defender/midfielder also played for North Texas SC in 2024, making eight regular-season appearances and four playoff appearances in MLS NEXT Pro. Sainté scored his first playoff goal on October 26 against the Tacoma Defiance and helped NTSC win its first MLS NEXT Pro Cup.

At the international level with Haiti, Sainté has made 19 appearances since debuting in 2022. He also played for Haiti in Nations League matches during the September window against Puerto Rico and Sint Maarten.

BDS Take

I know what some of you are thinking, this isn’t the move we were waiting to see happen today. I get that. But, I like this one for FC Dallas and for Sainte. This gets a young player off the books for the season and to a place where he can continue to develop, while also freeing up an important international roster slot in the process.

Phoenix is a fairly new destination for FC Dallas to send players to in the USL Championship. I would have imagined they would have sent players to New Mexico (Quill’s old club), San Antonio (they love tossing players down there), or up to Tulsa (that is where Jesus Ferreira really got his start as a professional all those years ago).

Phoenix is actually coached by former North Texas SC head coach Pa-Modou Kah, who was a big part in bringing Sainte to North Texas from New Mexico United in the 2022 season.

Sainte wasn’t on my short list of players to be loaned out next season in my recent roster discussion piece, but I can get on board with it. He was always going to be third or possible fourth in line in a crowded midfield group for new manager Eric Quill. I’d also say he would have been a fourth or fifth option as a center back on this roster, too.

I have a feeling Sainte won’t be the only player on the roster going out on loan this year.
