I’m not sure if this has been mentioned before, but Ethan Keen is a player who has been in camp with Cavalry down in Mexico.

19 year old Calgary-local defender from Mount Royal University who was selected in the second round of the 2021 USPORTS draft. He was in preseason with the club last season but had a hamstring injury that held him out of the Winnipeg bubble. 
 

According to the roster, Cavalry has 22 players currently signed but if Keen is signed to a developmental contract I don’t think he counts to that limit anyways.

They are washing it over, but it is not Cavalry's fault. It is his.

He has literally played three of the last 14 months. He took a long time to get his papers together to sign for Getafe, played from Feb to part of May as a u-19. Then his eligibility was up, and what you do is look for another team. Seriously. But he has been dormant, has not played a competitive match in almost a year. 

I blame his agent, and also his naivety. You can't do that, especially if you have, as he does, a UK passport. I mean, honestly, it pisses me off. I have never seen a kid playing in the top tier of u-19 Spain, the same tier as Koleosho and in fact a similar level, then get out and just sit around picking his butt for a year because he could not figure out the system.

Embarrassing, why are so many Canadian players in the hands of amateur reps?

To be fair, he was inured for 6 months during that time abroad.

Was he then? He was trialling in England in December 2020 and started playing in Feb 2021 for Getafe, so I am not sure you are right. Unless he got injured at the end of the Getafe stint and that stymied his possibility to sign for this season--but he has trials, so I don't see it. 

But I am not privy to the details, if you are let us know.

Not sure on the details but my source is very solid.
