AFTER SPECTACULAR DEBUT SEASON, OSAZE DE ROSARIO SIGNS TWO-YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION  

The striker managed a club record 12 league goals and will remain through 2024.

York United FC is delighted to announce that Osaze De Rosario has signed a two-year contract extension 
and will remain at The Nine Stripes through 2024.

The 21-year-old enjoyed a superb debut campaign and found the net 12 times in the Canadian Premier 
League: a club record. He was tantalizingly close to finishing the campaign as Golden Boot winner too, 
but fell one goal short of Pacific FC's Alejandro Diaz.

In all competitions, he scored 13 goals in 30 appearances, notched four assists and accumulated 
over 2,300 minutes of action.

His performances throughout 2022 ensured he was one of three nominees for the CPL's Best Canadian 
Under-21 Player award.

De Rosario arrived at the club in unusual circumstances, having started the year with Ukrainian 
top-tier side Rukh Lviv. However, the outbreak of war meant a return to Toronto and he began training 
with York. With minimal roster space available, the striker worked tirelessly and his contributions 
during pre-season impressed Head Coach Martin Nash. A contract was offered soon after.

"Osaze is another CPL success story," says Angus McNab, York United FC's CEO/President and GM.

"It’s astonishing to think he started the year playing in Ukraine and then things changed so quickly 
for him. I’m delighted he took an opportunity that came his way in such unique circumstances. 
We're all thrilled he’s back with the club and believe he can really push on, go one better and win 
the Golden Boot next season. Osaze has developed and matured a lot as a player in the nine months 
he’s been with us and I’m excited to see what’s next for him."
