On December 18, 2024 the USL Championship announced that Rhode Island FC midfielder Zachary Herivaux has been voted the 2024 USL Championship Comeback Player of the Year presented by Tiger Balm following a campaign in which the Haiti international made a remarkable return to action following an extended stint on the sidelines due to injury.

“We are very proud of Zach,” said Rhode Island FC Head Coach and General Manager Khano Smith. “This award is a testament to his determination and resilience. Zach has all the qualities of a Rhode Island FC player on and off the field. We look forward to continuing to support and provide an environment for him and his teammates to be successful.”

Herivaux earned the award with 68 percent of a fan vote conducted at USLChampionship.com which concluded on Monday. The Tampa Bay Rowdies’ Leo Fernandes finished second on 30 percent after his impressive late-season return after a torn Achilles’ tendon ruled the 2022 USL Championship Player of the Year out of the majority of the 2023 campaign, recording three goals and four assists in just 688 minutes of action to help Tampa Bay return to the postseason for a sixth consecutive campaign.
