Mondy Prunier (born 22 December 1999) is a Haitian professional footballer who plays as a forward for French Championnat National club Versailles and the Haiti national team.

Early life

Born in Bergamote, a district of Carrefour in the Port-au-Prince Arrondissement of Haiti, Prunier grew up without his parents.[2][3]

Club career

Prunier began his footballing career with AS Truitier, where he spent two seasons under coach Jean Romel Anéas.[4] In his first two seasons, he scored twenty-six goals in just twenty league games, and this prolific form continued at AS Carrefour, where he spent another two seasons before departing for Guadeloupean side Red Star Baie-Mahault.[4] Red Star president Paulin Éric had attended a Carrefour game, and invited Prunier to join the club after being impressed by his performance.[4]

Prunier joined the club on an internship basis in January 2019, scoring seven goals in six games before having to return to Haiti as his visa had expired.[4] Despite his contribution, Red Star were relegated to the Guadeloupe Regional Honorary Promotion Championship, the country's second division, though Prunier returned for the 2019–20 season, scoring twenty-seven goals in nineteen appearances to guide Red Star to first place and promotion.[4]

Though he had a contract with Red Star, his visa expired again in July 2021, and having scored seventeen goals in twenty-three games in his last season, Prunier left the club.[4] He had trialled with French side Boulogne in February 2020, and returned to the country in June 2021, signing a two-year professional deal with Championnat National 2 side Rouen.[5][6] In his first and only season with the club, he finished as their top scorer, with nine goals in twenty appearances.[7]

These impressive performances reportedly attracted the attention of a number of clubs in France, with Ligue 2 side Metz touted as one of the clubs interested.[8] He went on to join Versailles in the Championnat National, signing a three-year deal with the Île-de-France club.[9] A transfer fee was paid by Versailles, a rarity in the lower divisions of France.[10]

Having scored on his debut against Martigues on 12 August 2022, he only played once more before a month-long period without featuring - which he later revealed was due to issues with his residency permit.[11] At the conclusion of the 2022–23 season, he was awarded Versailles' player of the year award, having scored seven goals in twenty-seven appearances.[12]

International career

Having not been called up for Haiti at youth international level, he received his first call up to the full national team in May 2022, ahead of fixtures against Montserrat and Guyana the following month.[13] He marked his international debut with a goal against Montserrat, taking only five minutes to find the back of the net in a 3–2 win, before following this up with two goals in a 6–0 win against Guyana.[9] He scored his fourth goal for Haiti in a 4–0 win against Montserrat, which guaranteed Haiti qualification for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[14]
