Reds Sign Henry from Academy
Press Release

Toronto FC announced Thursday that it has signed Toronto FC Academy defender Doneil Henry to a professional contract. Henry becomes the first home grown player to sign with Toronto since Major League Soccer announced the initiative in 2007. Henry will not count against the 24-man roster, and fills one of two roster spots available for these players.

“This is very big day for Toronto FC,” said manager, director of soccer Mo Johnston. “When we started the Academy – this is what we ultimately wanted to accomplish, bring a young player on board and into the first team. Obviously Doneil has worked very hard under both Stuart and Jason in the Academy, and he deserves this opportunity. We are excited to welcome him into the team.”

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes agreed to terms with their first-ever Designated Player on Monday, former FC Barcelona and Hull City midfielder Geovanni.

The Brazilian attacking midfielder arrived in San Jose on Sunday evening to meet with team officials. After passing a physical Monday morning, he met again with Quakes general manager John Doyle to finalize the details of his contract. Per team policy, the terms were not disclosed.

Geovanni played with Hull City of the English Premier League for the last two seasons, but was released from his contract due to the Tigers' relegation. He previously played one season for Manchester City (2007-08), four for Portuguese club Benfica (2003-2006) and two for FC Barcelona (2001-03).
