Reid returns to Fury on loan from FC Dallas

Ottawa Fury FC continued to place a Canadian emphasis on its roster Friday, acquiring Adonijah Reid on a year-long loan from FC Dallas.

“Reid is a talented, young player that not only fits well with our culture, but has tons more potential to develop,” Fury FC general manager Julian de Guzman said.

“We had a glimpse of what he can do last year as a Fury FC player and are excited to see him push himself to better as a player and contribute to our club’s success.”

The 18-year-old forward featured in 12 Fury FC matches last season, making his professional debut on July 29 against Toronto FC II.

He had been the first Canadian Generation Adidas player selected in a Major League Soccer Super Draft, picked by FC Dallas in the second round (40th overall).

The Brampton native turned heads in League1 Ontario in 2015, scoring 20 goals for ANB Futbol, winning the Golden Boot award and the Young Player award.

Reid was first called into a Canadian national team camp at age 14 and participated in a Canadian under-20 national team project ahead of the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Korea.

He also had an extended trial with OCG Nice of French Ligue 1.

The addition of Reid brings the number of Canadians on the Fury roster to 13.
