Lenny Joseph (born 12 October 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Hungarian club Ferencváros. Born in France, he plays for the Haiti national team.

Club career

Early career

Joseph began his senior career with Le Puy and the reserves of Boulogne.[2] After strong performances in the 2020–21 Coupe de France, he signed a professional contract with FC Metz in the summer of 2021.[3] He made his professional debut with Metz in a 3–3 Ligue 1 tie with Lille 8 August 2021.[4]

Ferencváros

On 20 January 2025, Joseph was signed by Hungarian League club Ferencvárosi TC.[5] On 9 May 2026, he won the 2025–26 Magyar Kupa season with Ferencváros by beating Zalaegerszegi TE 1–0 in the 2026 Magyar Kupa final at Puskás Aréna.[6]

International career

Joseph was born in France to a Haitian father and DR Congolese mother.[7] He was thus eligible to represent either France or Haiti in international matches.[8] In May 2026, he was called up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to represent the Haiti national team.[9][10] He said in an interview with Fradi.hu that a dream would come true if he could play at the World Cup.[11] He would proceed to score in his first match for Haiti against New Zealand in a 4–0 win.[12] Another goal would come in a 4-2 loss against Morocco in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, breaking Emmanuel Sanon’s World Cup goal record, however the goal was announced to be a own goal by Yassine Bounou. It is highly debated whether it was a goal or a own goal by fans.
