Tomi Ameobi was a fan favourite during is time with FC Edmonton in the North American Soccer League.

Having returned to the club as part of the Canadian Premier League, the product of Newcastle, England, who has since become a permanent Canadian resident, Ameobi is looking to pick up where he left off.

“In some respects, it feels like I never left, but at the same time, it’s a whole new team,” Ameobi said. “It’s been awesome, we’ve had some growing pains the first couple of months, we’ve had some highs, we’ve had some lows, but the team has continued to come together and what’s been most impressive is how the group as a whole and individually, have taken on what (coaches) Jeff (Paulus) and Sean (Fleming) have tried to get across with their coaching points.

“Just the progress from Week 1 to now has been astronomical. There is still lots of work to be done, but we have a good group of characters and this season, hopefully, we can come back with a championship.”
