Asanti Herring

Asanti Imari Herring (born 9 December 1997) is a footballer who plays as a forward for the United States Virgin Islands national team.

Club career Having left the Chicago Fire academy, Herring moved to England to continue his education. While in England, Herring turned out for semi-professional side Irlam. During his season with the club he scored eleven goals in eleven matches for the reserve side but was unable to score in seven league appearances for the first team. The following year he joined TSV Sonnefeld of the Landesliga Bayern-Nordost. During his first season with the club he made 22 league appearances.

In 2023 he moved to Turku in Finland; initially attempting to join Kakkonen club PIF, he instead joined Halkian Alku of the then-fifth-tier Nelonen, after visa issues prevented him from joining PIF. He moved to Norway in August 2024, signing with Sprint-Jeløy, though he was assigned to their second team in the 4. divisjon.

International career Herring was named in the US Virgin Islands squad for 2017 Caribbean Cup qualification, and made his debut against Sint Maarten, scoring the first goal of a 2–1 win.
