In a professional footballer’s career, the experience of playing against your former team can often be a thrilling, yet daunting task. For HFX Wanderers’ Aidan Daniels, facing Toronto FC in the 2022 Canadian Championship quarter-finals could not have come at a better time.
Daniels joined the TFC academy back in 2012 and worked his way up the ranks at the club. He not only put pen to paper on his first professional deal with Toronto FC II back in 2016, but also a well-earned first team contract in 2018.
After leaving Toronto at the end of 2019 with just one first team appearance to his name, Daniels signed for the Colorado Springs Switchbacks in 2020 before joining OKC Energy the following year.
