The defender/winger joined Calgary’s Canadian Premier League side in 2020 and was named the U-21 player of the year after an outstanding showing at The Island Games in Prince Edward Island.
He joins fellow Cavalry teammate David Norman Jr. on the Canadian team.
Delighted for Mo. He continues to be one of those stories that defies the odds, puts in the work & creates his own pathway.
A wise man once said; “a successful person makes more opportunities for themselves, than are created for them”@Farsi_15 is that person ???? https://t.co/etfh79JLEn
