The tag of “super sub” is not one that most soccer players seek.
Khiry Shelton is no different in that regard but he has promised to embrace it... if it helps NYCFC to glory in 2016.
Not for the first time, the 23-year old made an immediate and decisive impact when he entered the field against Columbus Crew in the last regular season game of the year, netting the match-clinching third goal in a 4-1 win.
With Toronto up next in a two-legged Easter Conference semifinal, Shelton wants to help in any way he can, whether as a starter or from the bench.
