Club career

Albert was born on May 21, 2009, in Greenville, South Carolina.[2]. Albert was born to a French father and an American mother of German descent, giving him citizenship to both countries through right of blood.[3] As a youth player, he joined the youth academy of American side LA Galaxy. Albert received interest from Dutch and French sides while playing for the club.[4] He started training with their reserve team ahead of the 2024 season.[5] In 2024, he joined the youth academy of German Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund.

Albert was a member of the Dortmund squad that competed in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, becoming, at the age of 16 years and 27 days, the youngest player of the tournament, although he never came off the bench.[6][7] On April 26, 2026, at 16 years and 340 days old, he became the youngest American to play in the Bundesliga by coming onto the pitch in the final minutes of the 4–0 win against SC Freiburg.[8] This surpassed the previous American record held by Giovanni Reyna who was 17 years and 2 months old at debut.[8]

International career

Albert is a United States youth international. He has played for the United States national under-15 team, the United States national under-16 team, and the United States national under-17 team.

Albert was one of the 16 players who were called up for the March 2026 friendlies by United States under-19 team head coach Gonzalo Segares.[9] He made his debut with the United States under-19 team in a 4–0 victory over Wales under-19 team on March 28, 2026.[10]
