Finally back to full health, Manneh ready to shine: 'I'd like to be that guy for the club'

VALE OF GLAMORGAN, WALES – Kekuta Manneh is back, fit and raring to go.

The 22-year-old's 2016 season was brought to an abrupt halt when he underwent surgery in July on his right foot. But Manneh returned to the training pitch earlier this month with the U.S. national team in California, spending two weeks in his first USMNT camp before flying to Wales for Vancouver Whitecaps FC`s preseason trip.

Manneh admits to being surprised by the level and the tempo of the whole camp. But the “experience and exposure” left him hoping it will be the first of many more to come.
