Former Toronto FC fan favourite Nick Hagglund returns to BMO Field with FC Cincinnati
TORONTO — A fan favourite during his days with Toronto FC, defender Nick Hagglund returns to BMO Field on Saturday with FC Cincinnati.
Traded to expansion Cincinnati in January 2019 after five seasons with Toronto, Hagglund now ranks as Cincinnati’s leader in minutes played (4,699 in the regular season) and all-time appearances (63). He ranks second in starts (51).
And while he has been on the bench in Toronto since leaving, the 29-year-old Cincinnati native has yet to play for the visiting team at BMO Field.
“It’s always good coming back to Toronto,” Hagglund said. “Walking the old stomping grounds a little bit, seeing fun faces from back in the day.
