Kunle Dada-Luke’s non-stop motor and signature headband imprinted “KDL 13” have made him a fan favourite at Starlight Stadium.
Pacific FC’s recent resurgence in the Canadian Premier League of soccer has been powered by the four goals in four games by recent loan acquisition and 11-time New Zealand-capped striker Moses Dyer.
“The impressive thing about Kunle is his consistency and reliability of always being available,” said PFC head coach James Merriman, in his media scrum ahead of Monday’s game against Valour FC at 5 p.m. PT at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg. The idea behind the formation of the CPL in 2019, other than that a domestic Canadian pro league was a FIFA requirement to co-host the 2026 World Cup, is to help elevate Canadian players to Major League Soccer and Europe. Even though Dada-Luke is now 24 years old, Merriman sees that as a possibility for the former Canada Under-17 player: “Kunle has huge potential. He’s still growing as a player. He takes care of himself, especially mentally, and prepares himself every game.
“We need to go there for three points in Winnipeg. You have two teams who are absolutely fighting and giving everything to get into that playoff position,” said Merriman.
