Does anyone know what Toussaint Ricketts is up to these days? I thought he showed some promise as a youngster. I know he trialed at Toronto FC at some point but did not earn a contract.

According to a poster on the Voyageurs board, Ricketts has signed with MYPA, Finnish Premier Division. Here's the link they supplied. (How's your Finnish?)

I'm not a very good finisher. Let's just say that I'm no Ali Gerba. ;)

Ok, corny attempts at humor aside, thanks for the update on Toussaint. I would love to see him migrate back to MLS at some point if he can catch on. I liked him with Canada's U-20s.
