KAA Gent

Myrie quickly became a player in the first team during the 2008-2009 season Myrie. His excellent dribbling was remarkable. After the winter he injured his knee and had a long period of rehabilitation. He missed the preparation and the first eight games of the season 2009/2010. He made his debut back in the home match against KVC Westerlo. He made the full game and he also did the next games. Shortly after he got injured again and it took three months before he played a match again. In late 2009 he was allowed to play after 80 minutes against SV Roeselare. After the match, he was as usual again a player in the basic team. But Myrie was unlucky, in early January 2011 he re-injured his knee and he couldn't play for months once again.

In September 2012 he moved to Uruguay De Coronado. After a year at Belén, he joined Pérez Zeledón in summer 2014.
