Mark-Anthony Kaye's TFC homecoming was far from ideal

It wasn’t supposed to be like this for Mark-Anthony Kaye.

When the veteran midfielder was traded to Toronto FC from the Colorado Rapids back in July, the former TFC youth academy prospect had hopes of proving his hometown club made a big mistake when they released him in 2015.

After parting ways with the Reds seven years ago, Kaye went on to become one of the best two-way midfielders in MLS, mostly on the strength of his three and a half seasons at LAFC where he played under Bob Bradley.
