SAKTORONTO - Toronto FC has signed ´ºÉ«Ö±²¥ midfielder Malik Henry to a first team-contract through 2025 with club options for 2026 and 2027.
The 23-year-old from Hamilton has already made two appearances for the first team, signing three short-term agreements and making his MLS debut against New York Red Bulls on June 25.Â
“We are happy to promote Malik to the first team for the remainder of the 2025 season," Toronto GM Jason Hernandez said in a statement. “He has been a top performer for our MLS Next Pro team this season and continues to grow with each opportunity given in our senior team environment. We look forward to his continued work and growth within our system."

Prior to his NCAA career, he spent three years in the Toronto FC academy, playing across the U-15, U-16, and U-17 age groups, after playing youth soccer with Hamilton United.
Henry has represented Canada at the under-15 level.
The signing announcement was made prior to Toronto's game at the Philadelphia Union on Saturday.
