Toronto FC has signed former England youth international Matty Longstaff to a two-year contract with an option for 2026. The 23-year-old midfielder spent the last four seasons with Newcastle United, where his older brother Sean also plays, but only made 20 appearances including 14 Premier League matches. He went out on loan three times. Matty Longstaff scored on debut in October 2019, giving the Magpies a 1-0 win over Manchester United. At 19 years 199 days, he became the youngest player to score in his Premier League debut for Newcastle. His rocket-like right-footed strike from outside the penalty box was voted Premier League goal of the month, marking the first time a player won the award with a goal on their debut since August 2016.
