‘A conveyor belt of talent’: Terry Dunfield on TFC Academy’s golden generation

With twelve Homegrown players on the current first team roster, and six local signings since the start of 2020, it’s no exaggeration to speak of a golden generation for the Toronto FC Academy.

Emerging young players and depth pieces will have opportunities like never before due to the new five substitutes rule, and with the Chris Armas era ushering in a new attacking approach, the physical demands of a constant high press will surely see the full depth of TFC’s squad utilized throughout the season.

It’s an amazing time for Toronto FC’s young guns, and in the latest edition of Waking The Red Weekly presented by Footy Talks, club legend and youth coach Terry Dunfield spoke about how the Academy is setting up the TFC first team for sustainable success.
