Canadian teenager Adonijah Reid an intriguing prospect in MLS SuperDraft
The youngest player at the MLS Combine may also be one of the MLS draft’s biggest mysteries.
At 17, Canadian forward Adonijah Reid is very much a work in progress. But his raw talent combined with a Generation Adidas Canada contract that does not count against the salary cap should draw interest in Friday’s MLS SuperDraft in Los Angeles.
The five-foot-five talent from Brampton, Ont., who does not turn 18 until mid-September, has honed his talents at the ANB Futbol Academy in suburban Toronto since he was 11.
“He is an attacking-minded player, I don’t like to say forward because he can play behind the striker, as a striker and he can be on the wing,” said ANB Academy director Bassam Naim.
