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
[edit | edit source]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

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]
