Club career

Early career

Trye began his career in 2002 in the Sierra Leone National First Division with F.C. Kallon.[1] In 2007, he went abroad to play in the Salvadoran Primera División with Alianza F.C.[2][3] In 2011, he played in the USL Premier Development League with Northern Virginia Royals.[4] He resumed his career in the United States by playing in the National Premier Soccer League in 2014 with ASA Charge.[5] Throughout his tenure with ASA, he appeared in the Maryland Cup in 2016.[6]

North America

After several seasons in America, he went north of the border to Canada in 2016 for a trial session with Toronto Atomic.[1] He would ultimately sign a deal with league rivals Scarborough SC in 2017 to play in the Canadian Soccer League.[7][8] In his debut season with Scarborough, he assisted the club in reaching the CSL Championship final.[9] Unfortunately, Scarborough was defeated in a penalty shootout by York Region Shooters in the finals.[10]

He re-signed with Scarborough for the 2018 season.[11][12][13] He assisted the club in securing a postseason berth and played in the semifinal match against Ukraine United where Scarborough advanced to the championship final.[14] In the championship final, Vorkuta defeated Scarborough in a penalty shootout.[15] In 2019, he returned to play with Scarborough for his third season.[16] The club secured a playoff berth throughout the season by finishing second in the First Division.[17] For the third consecutive season, the eastern-based Toronto side reached the final and successfully defeated Ukraine United to secure the championship.[18][19]

He extended his contract with Scarborough in 2020 for his fourth and final season.[20] He helped the club claim the First Division title in his final season with Scarborough.[21][22] Scarborough would also for the fourth consecutive season reach the championship final but failed to defend their title against Vorkuta.[23]

In 2021, he signed with league rivals Serbian White Eagles.[24] His season was cut short after sustaining a serious injury in the opening round match against Vorkuta in the ProSound Cup tournament.[25][26] He re-signed with the Serbs for the 2022 season.[27]

International career

Trye made his debut for the Sierra Leone national football team on 9 February 2011 against Nigeria.[28] He was called to the national team roster on September 7, 2013, against Equatorial Guinea.[29] In 2014, he made his second national team appearance against Congo DR in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[30] He was also called up for another 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Cameroon.[31][32]

He was named to a 35-man provisional roster in 2018 organized by head coach John Keister in preparation for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[33] In 2019, he received another call-up to the national team to serve as a backup against Benin and Lesotho for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[34][35][36]

Managerial career

In 2017, he joined SC Toronto's goalkeeping technical staff in order to assist the club's Ontario Player Development League team.[37]
