Aketxe joins the defending Major League Soccer Champions on a free transfer from Athletic Bilbao in Spain. His contract was sent to expire at the end of this season.
Player Profile
It has been an up and down career for Aketxe thus far. The 24-year-old has seen playing time in the UEFA Champions League as well as La Liga 2. Consistent minutes for Bilbao’s first team have not been there this season, and as a result, it appears Aketxe is looking for those minutes to come at Toronto FC.
In the 2017-18 season, Aketxe has made just 12 appearances for Bilbao in all competitions.
