Toronto FC defender Lukas MacNaughton is young but well-travelled

Lukas MacNaughton may wear Toronto FC red but the 26-year-old defender truly is a man of the world.

Born in New York City to a Canadian father and Austrian mother, MacNaughton moved to Belgium when he was seven. After attending the University of Toronto to study architecture, his soccer career took off in the Canadian Premier League at Pacific FC. And now MacNaughton is part of a new-look TFC backline.

His travels have left their mark.

The six-foot-one 185-pounder speaks English, French and German, understands Dutch and can “get by” in Spanish. He holds Canadian, American and Belgium citizenship.
