Canada Soccer has announced that Liam Stanley is the 2013 Canadian Para Soccer Player of the Year. Stanley was honoured by selection from the Canada Para Soccer coaching staff.

“As a young 16-year old, Liam had a year in 2013 that not many players his age have had at the senior level,” said coach Drew Ferguson. “He was a dominant factor for us at the national level.”

“At the Tournoi international in Montréal in April, he played in every game and gained valuable experience at a competition of this level. At the Intercontinental Cup in Spain in July and August, he played in every minute of every game.”

Stanley earned Canada’s man-of-the-match honours in a loss to England in April and in a win over Venezuela in August. He scored the opening goal in the win over Venezuela.

“It was a very solid year and it promises a bright future for this young player,” said Ferguson.
