Sarah Stratigakis has signed with AFC Toronto, expressing excitement about playing professionally in her home country. The 26-year-old midfielder was particularly drawn to the team by the shared vision from sporting director Billy Wilson and head coach Marko Milanovic. With experience from collegiate soccer at Michigan and professional stints in Sweden, England, and France, she looks forward to training with Toronto, although she can't compete until after July 20. Stratigakis values her time abroad as challenging yet rewarding, contributing significantly to her development as a player.
I'm very excited. Finally, to have a chance to play professionally in Canada... Playing in front of my family, my friends, my hometown, it means the world to me.
I really align with [Toronto's] values and their vision for the team... I really want to [put] my stamp on that team.
Playing abroad was probably one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my career... I've definitely learned a lot from my time there.
I was improving all the time... It was just an environment I enjoyed.
