Canada Soccer’s ramped-up recruitment efforts have paid off again.
Burnley midfielder Scott Arfield — born and raised in Scotland but eligible for Canada through his Toronto-born dad — will be part of Benito Floro’s squad in 2016, sources tell the Province.
Arfield, 27, is the latest in a string of off-field wins for Canada Soccer, who in 2015 gave international debuts to FC Dallas forward Tesho Akindele, Glasgow Rangers winger Fraser Aird and Queens Park Rangers winger Junior Hoilett.
Akindele, a 23-year-old who grew up in Colorado, had interest from the U.S.; Toronto-born Aird, 20, played for Scotland at the U17 and U19 levels; and Hoilett, 25, was also courted by his father’s birth country, Jamaica.
