Toronto FC II announced Monday that it has exercised contract options on six players, 
while four players are already under guaranteed contract for the 2017 season. 
The club has also re-signed midfielder Bubacarr Jobe to USL contract. The exercised 
options and re-signing are pending league and federation approval.

and Ricardo John. 

The four players already under contract for the 2017 season are midfielders 
Aidan Daniels, Malik Johnson, Liam Fraser and forward Shaan Hundal.

“As we look to build on the positives from the team’s second season in the USL, 
our goal continues to be to develop our homegrown and drafted talent into first 
team players while fielding a competitive side,” said Toronto FC General Manager 
Tim Bezbatchenko. “Providing the opportunity to play meaningful games 
in a professional environment will be vital to their growth as young professionals. 
We are also currently in talks to re-sign Ben Spencer to bring him back 
for the 2017 season.”

Toronto FC II have not exercised the option on midfielder Martin Davis. 
In addition, defenders Skylar Thomas, Wesley Charpie; midfielders Adam Bouchard, 
Sal Bernal and forward Ben Spencer’s contracts will expire at the end of the year

Triston Hodge has returned to W Connection F.C. of the TT Pro League.
