TORONTO, Canada—Welcome to the first ever Waking The Red Toronto FC Rising Star Rankings!
We’ve heard it by now: the front office’s investment heavily into youth player development.
This past offseason, designated Player Pablo Piatti aside, TFC general manager Ali Curtis added four new faces to the senior roster: three homegrown signings from their academy and a 22-year-old MLS SuperDraft pick in Achara.
Perhaps it’s the cost of retaining their core players under a salary cap, but now more than ever, the team has shown the initiative to include their younger talent in the conversation.
