Taryck Tahid, an electrifying 18-year-old winger of Ghanaian descent, has burst onto the European scene with a performance to remember. Turning out for Albanian side KF Skënderbeu in the 2025/26 UEFA Youth League, Tahid delivered a masterclass as his team dismantled Andorran outfit Inter Club d’Escaldes 10–0 in the opening-round first leg.

The Canadian-trained talent scored an astonishing five goals and supplied two assists, instantly placing himself among the competition’s most decisive players.

Tahid’s football journey began in Canada, honing his skills with New Westminster Africa United FC, Albion FC, and VanCity Pro Football Academy between 2018 and 2022. He later signed for Vancouver FC in 2023 before making a bold move to Europe. Snapped up by Skënderbeu on a free transfer during the last summer window, his market value has already climbed to around €200,000, according to Transfermarkt.

With such a dazzling start, the young winger is fast becoming one of Africa’s—and Canada’s—brightest prospects to watch.
