After a few designated player miscues, Toronto FC hit the jackpot with Italian Sebastian Giovinco in 2015.
Ryan Telfer looks like another TFC scouting success story, albeit on a more modest scale much closer to home.
It’s early days yet but the 24-year-old midfielder-forward from Mississauga, via Trinidad and Tobago, is turning heads. Telfer topped off a man-of-the-match performance Friday night with the winning goal in Toronto FC’s 2-1 victory over Orlando City SC.
Telfer, making his fourth start, opened his MLS account with a beauty — a left-footed volley off a long-distance cross from Brazilian fullback Auro.
