Hartford Athletic goalkeeper Antony Siaha was named the USL Championship Player of the Month for March, making him the first player in club history to do so.
Siaha has already been in the Team of the Week three times already in the 2026 season, being a first-choice selection in week 3, as well as being named to the bench in weeks 1 and 5.
The Player of the Month award is a fitting cap to the first month of the season for Siaha, as no keeper in the league has added more value thus far. In March alone, he saved Hartford more than a goal per game above their expected goals allowed, making key saves in almost every single on of the club’s games that month.
Siaha also now has three clean sheets on the season in just five games, adding to the 13 clean sheets in all competitions he recorded in 2025. Clean sheets are obviously a team effort, but the keeper has more than done his part, and he’s continued that into April as he made a couple of superb saves to preserve a point in Hartford’s nil-nil draw with Miami FC last weekend.
For his Hartford career, he’s given up less than a goal per game: 39 goals in 42 games to date, easily the best number of any keeper in club history. And if anything, Siaha has been even better in 2026. In 2025, he had only the 9th-best save percentage in the league, but through five games of the 2026 season, he sits on top of the league by that metric. On Friday, Brendan Burke praised his keeper’s confidence, and hinted at bigger things ahead.
“Well, now I think he's confident, he's settled, he's maturing, he's focused, and that makes a talented guy dangerous. And he's playing at a really, really high level now. And I think he belongs in MLS ultimately. But he's got to show that he can sustain this level of concentration because that's what separates a lot of guys at the next level, you know, is being able to do it week in and week out over the course of 40 weeks.”
Siaha and Hartford Athletic are back in action on Saturday night, as they host El Paso Locomotive in USL Championship action.
