York United FC are excited to announce the signing of winger Shola Jimoh on an Exceptional Young Talent contract.

The 16-year-old had previously signed a Developmental Contract with The Nine Stripes during the 2023 campaign and he's been a mainstay of club training sessions for quite some time.

At national level, Jimoh has made four appearances for the Canadian Under-15 side.

"Shola is such a phenomenal talent," says Ricardo Pasquel, General Manager and President of York United FC.

"Along with an impressive skillset and technical ability, he's got a terrific attitude and spirit. He's a local kid with so much upside and it's our responsibility to not only consistently find these players in our communities and neighbourhoods but give them the best chance of success by investing in them. We're thrilled to bring him on board officially and we believe in him. He has the potential to go far and we're here to try and facilitate that."

"As Game Plan Sports Group has said since day one, our primary focus is on developing talent. And we're excited about what we can achieve together with the litany of wonderful youth clubs we have on our doorstep here in Toronto and the GTA."
