Toronto FC acquires winger Piedrahita on loan from Bulgarian club

The Colombian winger began his professional career at home with Deportivo Pereira, scoring 10 goals in 110 appearances over five seasons and helping the team win a Liga Dimayor title in 2021-22.

He also spent loan spells with Argentine clubs CA Banfield and Gimnasia.

Piedrahita will take up one of TFC’s international roster spots.

Toronto FC announced today that the club has transferred forward Deandre Kerr to Liga Portugal 2 side AVS Futebol SAD (Second Division) on a permanent transfer, with TFC retaining a future sell-on percentage.

“We would like to thank Deandre for his contributions over the past few years, as well as thank the Kerr family for their efforts and commitment to TFC from his Academy days through our First Team,” said Toronto FC General Manager Jason Hernandez. “We wish Deandre all the best in the next chapter of his career.”

Kerr, 23, had 21 goals and three assists across 114 appearances with TFC.

The forward from Ajax, Ont., joined the club as a homegrown player on Jan. 21, 2022 and made his professional debut against FC Dallas a month later.

In 2024, Kerr became the first player in Toronto FC history to score four goals in a single competitive match during the 8-1 victory over CS Saint-Laurent in the quarterfinal second leg of the Canadian Championship.
