shamrock Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Debuted for TFC2 on Friday. I don't know anything about this kid, but a pro-debut at age 15 raises eyebrows (at least my eyebrows). And he's only 15 for a month. Obviously a hugely talented kid. youllneverwalkalone and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Youngest professional in TFC history. Could he be their Davies? https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/04/22/toronto-fcs-jahkeele-marshall-rutty-introduces-himself-ga-cup-heroics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Heard a rumour that the TFC brass (Vanney & Manning) is pushing a very talented youngster in their academy to the USA. Hope its not this kid, but really, I will drop all support for TFC if it ever comes out (a la Akinola) that they are pushing kids that grew up in Canada to the US.

red card Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) He scored a penalty in leading TFC to the U-15 U.S. Soccer Development Academy title recently. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/06/25/toronto-fc-beats-lafc-win-first-u-15-development-academy-national-title This was after his performance in the GA tourney earlier this year. https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2019/04/22/toronto-fcs-jahkeele-marshall-rutty-introduces-himself-ga-cup-heroics Edited June 29, 2019 by red card shamrock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 A buddy of mine plays old-timer soccer in Burlington with some well-connected people that would know. Was told that a young star in the system was being pushed to the US and that they were very disappointed. My buddy did not know the player's name so it may not be him, I'm just putting 2 +2 together. Regardless of who the player is, if this is actually happening within the TFC system it is very wrong. I guess we'll see. nolando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we heard that rumour with Akinola so I'm not surprised they'll do it again with another dual citizen. The sooner Vanney gets fired, the better. Hopefully guys like Davies and David get in this kid's other ear and tell him to suit up for us. Whoever this kid is.

Obinna Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Probably just Akinola. Never heard anything about this kid being eligible for the states. Ruffian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty becomes the youngest Toronto FC first team player at the age of 15. Hard to imagine Marshall-Rutty making Toronto FC first team and Jayden Nelson does not unless Jayden has other plans. toontownman and Bison44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colliedor Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Well, congrats to him. Hopefully he gets a lot more action with tfc2 this year. He was being looked at by teams from Europe apparently. Not sure how it works, but did they do this because there was a chance he could leave for free? I know some other mls teams ended up losing big prospects for nothing. Was expecting Nelson and Perruzza to get their contracts first, but that could still potentially happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m curious how this works as well he was signed to TFCII so wouldn’t that be considered professional, meaning he is tied to Tfc?

TGAA_Star Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 A star for Canada's future and to think by 2026, he will only be 22 years old by the time the 2026 FIFA World Cup begins here at home in our backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendly writing advice from someone who doesn't write well. Try to cut down on the redundancies like in my edit of your comment above.
