Toronto FC part ways with F Ayo Akinola

Toronto FC and forward Ayo Akinola mutually agreed to terminate his contract, the club announced Tuesday.

Akinola, 24, has yet to dent the scoresheet in five matches off the bench this season.

The Ontario native has 15 goals and two assists in 90 career MLS matches (39 starts) with Toronto and the San Jose Earthquakes, although his last MLS tally came in September 2022.

"We want to thank Ayo for his contributions to our club dating back to his days in our academy," Toronto general manager Jason Hernandez said in a release. "We all wish him the best in the next chapter of his career."
