Congratulations to Kitchener SC alum Markus Cimermancic on signing a two-year homegrown player contract with Toronto FC with options for 2027 and 2028. Markus started his youth soccer career here at Kitchener SC, playing for 7 years in the club before joining the Toronto FC Academy in February of 2015. He continued in the TFC Academy until 2021, when he joined Toronto FC III in the League1 Ontario Summer Championship division.
On May 8, 2022, Markus made his debut with Toronto FC II in MLS Next Pro as an academy call-up against New York City FC II. In March 2023, he signed a full professional contract with the team. After 3 short term loans to TFC in 2023 and another 4 short term loans in 2024, Toronto FC II exercised Cimermancic’s contract option for the 2025 season.
Prior to the start of the 2025 season, Markus was invited to training camp with the first team and was offered his first full-time professional contract with TFC this February!
The Club is so proud of Markus for all the hard work he put in to achieve his dream and we’ll be cheering for him to crush it this season!
