Chrisnovic Isemoli N'sa (born 28 January 1999) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays for Huntsville City FC in MLS Next Pro.

Early life

N'sa began playing youth soccer at age nine with AS Concordia.[1] Afterwards, he played for CS Panellinios.[2] In 2016, he joined the Montreal Impact Academy,[3] where he played for two years, before departing in 2018, after he aged out of the program.[2]

Club career

In 2018, he joined CS Longueuil in the Première ligue de soccer du Québec.[4]

In February 2019, N'sa signed his first professional contract with Canadian Premier League side HFX Wanderers.[5][6] In December 2019, N'sa re-signed with Wanderers for the 2020 season.[7][8] He was only one of seven returning players for the side in 2020, from the 2019 season.[9] He helped the Wanderers reach the 2020 CPL Championship final, where they were defeated by Forge FC.[10] After the 2020 season, he was nominated for the CPL U-21 Player of the Year award.[11][12]

In November 2020, N'sa signed with York United, joining his brother Felix who had signed with the club the day before.[13][14] He declined an extension from the Wanderers, as well as offers from other CPL clubs and foreign clubs in order to sign with York.[15][16] He made his debut for York in their 2021 season opener against Cavalry FC on June 27, 2021.[17][18] N'Sa scored his first goal for York on October 24 against Atlético Ottawa.[19] After the end of the season, York exercised his club option for the 2022 season.[20] In December 2022, York revealed they could not agree to terms over a new contract, and that N'Sa would be departing the club.[21]

In February 2023, he joined Huntsville City FC in MLS Next Pro.[22] He made his debut on March 26 against Crown Legacy FC.[23]

International career

In 2014, he made his debut in the Canadian youth program at an identification camp for the Canada U15 team.[1]

In 2017, he was called up to a Quebec-Canada U20 team to play friendlies against Haiti U20, who were preparing for the 2017 Jeux de la Francophonie.[24] He was then named to the Quebéc U20 team for the 2017 Jeux de la Francophonie.[25]

Personal life

His younger brother, Felix, is also a professional soccer player.[26][27] N'sa has a big presence on the social media app TikTok, with him being nicknamed 'Tik Tok Man' by his HFX Wanderers coach Stephen Hart.[28]
