Jacob Shaffelburg cut his teeth with Toronto FC. But the Canadian winger has found a home in Nashville.
The 23-year-old from Port William, N.S., joined Toronto as a homegrown player in June 2019 and went on to make 61 appearances in all competitions.
“The kid can run all day and he’s incredibly fast,” then-TFC coach Greg Vanney said after Shaffelburg’s first start.
But occupying the same position as Italian star Lorenzo Insigne, Shaffelburg found playing time hard to get last year. Toronto loaned him to Nashville SC in early August with the teams making the move permanent in mid-November.
