TORONTO, Canada—Toronto FC announced today that the club has signed 21-year-old defender Luca Petrasso to a homegrown contract through the 2023 season.
Petrasso, who has been with the TFC academy since 2013, becomes the 27th player in club history to sign for the first team from the Toronto FC Academy.
Primarily a left-back, Petrasso spent the past four seasons with Toronto FC II, appearing in 63 matches and scoring three goals since joining the team. He emerged as a leader with the Young Reds last season and was one of the steady presences in Mike Munoz’s defence, often marshaling the back line.
