Youth serves: 15-year-old Alphonso Davies joins WFC2 after 'eye-opening' experience with first team

VANCOUVER, BC – “Be humble. Keep working.”

Those are the words Alphonso Davies has lived by for as long as he can remember.

They came from his mom. She told him to always keep a level head. She told him not to show off. And she told him to work hard. That what he’s been doing – and it’s starting to pay off.

Davies, who has been training with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC first team this preseason, signed his first professional contract today with WFC2 – the club’s United Soccer League team.
