Once deemed expendable, Mark-Anthony Kaye happy to be back with Toronto FC
TORONTO — Once deemed surplus to requirements by Toronto FC, midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye returned to the club Monday as a prized acquisition.
Toronto president Bill Manning, who was not with the MLS franchise when Kaye was released after playing for TFC II and III, welcomed the 27-year-old Canadian international back at a news conference following Friday’s trade with the Colorado Rapids.
While “super-excited” to be back and saying Toronto has “always been a club that’s been in my heart,” Kaye acknowledged that being let go by his hometown team was a turning point in his career.
He used it to fuel him, in a positive way.
