Toronto, ON (November 28, 2024) – AFC Toronto is excited to announce the signing of Richmond Hill native and St. Kitts & Nevis National Team midfielder, Cloey Uddenberg (22 years old). As the club's fourth signing, Uddenberg demonstrates the club's commitment to recruit the best players from the GTA as we build towards a 2025 kick-off. 

Uddenberg collegiate journey began at the University of Guelph, where she earned USPORTS All-Canadian honours and OUA MVP recognition. She later transferred to South Alabama, where she experienced an undefeated regular season and built a reputation as a consistent and reliable performer at the NCAA DI level. Following that she captained the U20 team for St. Kitts and Nevis, and competed in the World Cup and Olympic Qualifying tournaments. 

“Cloey has excelled at mastering the fundamentals, an often underrated yet essential quality in professional football,” said Marko Milanovic, Head Coach of AFC Toronto. “Her versatility and relentless work ethic will elevate our team’s performance, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her on board.”

Uddenberg’s success continued at Purdue University in 2024, where she logged significant minutes and demonstrated her consistency and versatility, as she tested herself in one of the most competitive conferences in NCAA DI soccer. In League1 Ontario, she proved to be a game-changer with Simcoe Rovers FC, earning back-to-back All-Star honours and being named the 2023 Midfielder of the Year. 

“I’m honoured to join AFC Toronto and take this next step in my career,” said Uddenberg. “This city’s passion for soccer and sense of community inspires me, and I’m excited to contribute to building a team that fans can rally behind.” 

More player announcements are set to be released over the coming months and into the new year as the team prepares for its debut season.
