Sporting Kansas City signed outside back Kayden Pierre to a Homegrown contract early in the 2021 season after impressing at preseason camp in Arizona with the Sporting KC first team. Pierre is the 18th Homegrown Player to emerge from the Sporting Kansas City Academy. He made his debut for the club against Leon in the Leagues Cup on Aug. 10, 2021 before making his MLS debut at Colorado on March 12, 2022. Born and raised in Rochester Hills, Michigan, Pierre joined the Sporting KC Academy in 2018 from Vardar SC in his native state. He has represented Sporting at the U-15, U-17 and U-19 levels since then, and helped guide the U-17s to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Playoffs in 2019. Capable of playing at left back and right back, Pierre gained his first professional experience in 2020 when he signed an amateur academy contract with Sporting Kansas City II. He started two of three USL Championship appearances in 2020, including a 90-minute outing in a dramatic 2-1 road victory over Indy Eleven on Sept. 30. On the international stage, Pierre has competed for the United States U-14 and U-16 national teams over the last five years. He participated in multiple U-14 training camps from 2016-2017 before jumping to the U-16s for training camps from 2018-2019.

Sporting Kansas City acquired Mexican striker Alan Pulido as a Designated Player on a club-record transfer fee from C.D. Guadalajara in December 2019. Pulido has scored over 100 combined goals for club and country during a decorated career highlighted by five domestic championships and the 2018 Concacaf Champions League title. He joined Sporting after finishing atop the Liga MX scoring charts with 12 goals for C.D. Guadalajara in the 2019 Apertura season. Pulido is set to miss the 2022 MLS season after undergoing offseason knee surgery.
Pulido developed in the Tigres UANL youth academy before breaking into the first team in 2009 as an 18-year-old. He helped Tigres to the 2009 SuperLiga title and two years later, Pulido scored in the second leg of the 2011 Liga MX Apertura Final as Tigres won its first league championship since 1982. Pulido enjoyed a breakout 2013-14 campaign with 25 goals in all competitions during his final season at Tigres, scoring in the 2014 Copa MX Clausura Final to finish as the tournament’s top scorer. Pulido then signed for Greek outfit Levadiakos and scored on his debut before heading to Greek powerhouse Olympiacos. He notched six goals throughout the 2015-16 campaign as Olympiacos claimed the Super League title, with Pulido also competing in the Europa League and Champions League qualifying during his time with the club. Pulido returned to Liga MX in August 2016, joining Guadalajara on a club-record transfer fee. His first full season with Chivas yielded 14 goals, helping his side to a double-winning campaign that ended with his first Liga MX Best XI selection. In 2018, he led Chivas to the Concacaf Champions League title and the club’s first continental championship in 56 years. At the international level, Pulido has bagged five goals in 20 caps for Mexico’s senior team and was part of the El Tri squad at the 2011 Copa America and the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
