Toronto FC to add 3 Canadians


Canadian Press

TORONTO (CP) - Toronto FC will flesh out its expansion MLS roster by announcing the signing of Canadian defenders Adam Braz, Chris Pozniak and Marco Reda on Wednesday.

A source confirmed Tuesday that the three will be introduced at a news conference the team has called for Wednesday morning at the CN Tower.

Toronto FC, which kicks off next spring, already has Canadian international midfielder Jim Brennan under contract. Coach Mo Johnston added 10 more players in last Friday's expansion draft but moved four of them, including Canadian international Adrian Serioux, who was dealt to Dallas along with a second-round draft pick for Irish midfielder Ronnie O'Brien.

Braz, 25, has been with the Montreal Impact most of his career but spent 2003 with Sweden's Vasteras SK.

Pozniak, 25, joined Norway's Haugesund FK in 2004 from Sweden's Orebro.



Reda, 29, spent last season with Sogndal of Norway after playing for Danish side Aalborg in 2005. Like Pozniak, he is a former member of the Toronto Lynx.

Braz and Pozniak both played in Canada's most recent game, a 1-0 loss in Hungary last Wednesday. It was the 10th cap for Braz and 17th for Pozniak.

Reda was not called up for the Hungary contest but played the two previous games against Jamaica. He has six caps.

Expansion draft picks still with Toronto are forwards Nate Jaqua and Jose Cancela, midfielders Paolo Nagamura and Rod Dyachenko and defenders Tim Regan and Ritchie Kotschau.

The team is also working on adding goalkeeper Greg Sutton, a Canadian international who has played in Montreal most recently.

The Toronto club will add to its roster at the league SuperDraft, scheduled for Jan. 12.

And it has scheduled open tryouts for next month, offering space to 1,000 people at $115 a shot.

Toronto FC, the MLS's 13th franchise, begins play in April 2007 at BMO field, currently under construction near the downtown waterfront.
