AFC Toronto has added goalkeeper Sierra Cota-Yarde, defender Sarah Rollins and midfielder Ivymae Perez
AFC looked to its roots Thursday, announcing the signing of three local players who have gone on to make their mark outside of Toronto.
“Recruiting local talent is important for us and we aim to sign high potential players ready to be a part of Canadian history,” AFC Toronto sporting director Billy Wilson, who was North Toronto’s technical director, said in a statement. “Ivy, Sarah and Sierra are players we know very well from their time playing for North Toronto Soccer in League1 Ontario and fill us with a lot of confidence.
“To be able to come back home is something I never thought I would have the opportunity to do,” said Cota-Yarde. “Being able to promote soccer to younger Canadian players is incredible; they now have something to work toward and I’m proud to be a part of this project.”
