Telfer settling at Columbus.
TTFA Media.


Trinidad and Tobago winger Ryan Telfer is slowly adjusting to his new environment after making the switch to Columbus Crew 2 on an MLS NEXT Pro professional contract last month.

Telfer joins Crew 2 after spending the 2021 season with Atletico Ottawa of the Canadian Premier League. The former Toronto FC player is currently recovering from an injury sustained in the 1-1 draw with Guyana in the Courts Caribbean Classic fixture in Port of Spain last month but is keeping a keen eye on T&T’s upcoming Concacaf Nations League assignment which begins away to Nicaragua on June 3.

We caught up with him today.

Q: Ryan, can you tell us about the past few weeks at your new club since you completed the recent move.

RT: It as been a quiet few weeks since my move here. I have been recovering from an injury since the Guyana friendly so I’m focusing on being able to get back on the field. This has been my main priority.

Q: What is it like at the new club? New environment, teammates, new city.

RT: It’s lways great to embrace a new club, environment and city. I have been welcomed with open arms into this organization and it’s been excellent so far. The club and its facilities with its staff are world class. It’s great having a mixture of new and old teammates on the team and it’s been going pretty well under the new coaching staff here. I haven’t been able to explore Columbus yet but I’ll be able to soon once the summer months arrive.

Q: Reflecting on the last coming together of the national team, what were the major points for you? Team spirit, fight, other aspects on and off the pitch.

RT: Team chemistry and identity are some of the major points that we have been working on together as a team. With every camp, we’ve been improving as a group in the way we play and carry about ourselves on the field. We want to be that team that is stubborn to play against while being able to express ourselves out there. We’ve also never had all our players available for selection so I look forward to that moment when it happens.

Q:What are your thoughts on the draw for the Nations League? How do you assess the Group?

RT: The Concacaf Nations League is gonna be an exciting one for us. There are teams who have been improving their football pedigree as well as our so called ‘jumbie’ team that caused a wreck in our World Cup hopes (Bahamas). Either way, it has been engraved in us that we don’t cater or care who we play, our job is to bring Trinidad and Tobago football back to where it belongs. With that being said these aren’t easy games and there is no such thing as an easy team in international football so the focus will be on us and how we want to establish ourselves out there.

Q: Talk about the importance of us starting the campaign well in June with sights set on automatic qualification for Gold Cup 2023.

RT: It’s very important to start well in any competition that you are in. Being able to get those first set of points can pave the way for the rest of the group stage. We want to be that team that determines their own fate at the end of it all.

Q: How much are you anticipating June and the four matches back to back?

RT: As the international break slowly approaches, it’s something I always look forward to as a national team player. And especially under these new circumstances under the Nations League banner, these matches are worth something and it makes it much more exhilarating to be a part of it. Hopefully I’m fit enough to participate.

TTFA Media: Thanks for the time Ryan. Hope to see you again soon.

T&T will face Nicaragua in Managua on Friday June 3 in its opening CNL fixture. They then host Bahamas at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on June 6 before traveling to St Vincent/Grenadines to play on June 10th before hosting the Vincentians in Port of Spain on June 13th.

The real measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

From Maple Fields to International Dreams: The Inspiring Journey of Ryan Telfer
By Matteo Cozzoli (miamifc.com)

In the world of professional football, some players rise through the ranks effortlessly, while others embark on a challenging and winding path before finding their footing. One such player who epitomizes resilience and determination is Ryan Telfer, a name that has been making headlines with his recent performances for Miami FC.

Telfer’s love for the beautiful game was nurtured on the youth fields of Mississauga, Canada, where he honed his skills and developed a passion for the sport. His perseverance paid off when he earned a scholarship to attend York University in Toronto. During his time at the university, Telfer’s performances caught the attention of coaches and scouts, providing him with an opportunity to showcase his abilities at a higher level.

In 2018, Telfer’s dream of becoming a professional footballer materialized when he signed with Toronto FC, a Major League Soccer (MLS) club. It was a breakthrough moment for the then-24-year-old, as he donned the iconic red jersey and made his professional debut. His journey from the local leagues to the MLS served as an inspiration to many upcoming players.

Despite showing glimpses of his talent in the MLS, Telfer faced challenges in securing a regular spot in the starting lineup. The fiercely competitive nature of the league demanded consistent top-notch performances, and Telfer found himself seeking opportunities to further develop his skills and gain valuable experience.

His determination to succeed led him to Ottawa, where he joined Ottawa Fury FC on loan in 2018. Telfer’s stint with Ottawa proved fruitful as he became a key player for the club, impressing with his goal-scoring abilities and dynamic attacking style. His time with Ottawa Fury FC allowed him to refine his game and prove his worth on the professional stage.

In 2019, Telfer’s journey took an unexpected yet exciting turn when he signed with York9 FC, a Canadian Premier League (CPL) club. Returning to his roots, Telfer embraced the opportunity to play in Canada’s newly established professional league and became an integral part of York9 FC’s squad. His performances in the CPL earned him accolades and the admiration of fans across the country.

In September of 2019 Telfer was first called to the Trinidad and Tobago National Team and has since made nine appearances. He has added a respectable four goals during that time, and will be a player to look out for in future fixtures.

In 2021, Telfer’s talents caught the eye of Miami FC, and he made the move to the United States to join the club in the USL Championship. Once again, Telfer faced the challenge of adapting to a new team and league, but his resilience and adaptability shone through. In his new surroundings, he quickly established himself as a key player, becoming a fan favorite with his electrifying performances and crucial goals.

Fast forward to the present, and Ryan Telfer finds himself in the prime of his career. His remarkable journey from the local fields of Mississauga to competing at the professional level across different countries is a testament to his unwavering determination and passion for the sport. Telfer’s story serves as an inspiration to all aspiring footballers, showcasing that hard work, perseverance, and the refusal to give up can lead to success, even in the face of adversity.

“You have to love everything about it,” said Telfer when asked how he stays mentally prepared and focused, “the preparation, the work, and the success. You have to be motivated to get better every single day.”

As he continues to excel for Miami FC, the football world watches with anticipation, wondering what other heights this tenacious journeyman can reach. Ryan Telfer’s name may not have graced the biggest headlines in football, but his story is one that deserves recognition as a testament to the unyielding spirit of an athlete on a path less traveled.

Nice, composed and confident goal by Telfer ... but what a way to be carved open on 90'. Well-crafted winner by the opponents.

Warrior Profile: Ryan Telfer – Focused on the job at hand for T&T
By Jonathan Ramnanansingh (T&T Newsday)


Ryan Telfer’s omission from Fatima College’s 2010-2011 BG T&T Secondary Schools’ Football League squad only motivated him to work harder.

Despite helping the school’s U14 and U16 teams dominate their respective divisions during his time there (2006-2011), the 29-year-old right-winger was overlooked by then coach Huston “Baba” Charles for a senior team pick in his final year.

Undeterred, and brimming with talent, Telfer travelled to Canada, went to York University in Toronto and began competing with the university team. He impressed, and in 2017, transferred to Toronto FC’s second team for an entire season.

In 2018, he played three games with the club’s second team, and was then called up to play for the first team in Major League Soccer (MLS), in his first pro contract. He found it tough to secure a regular spot in the starting 11, and joined Ottawa Fury FC on loan later that year.

For the 2019 season, he signed with York9 FC, and played in the newly established Canadian Premier League.

His attacking style was recognised by then Trinidad and Tobago coach and 2006 World Cup player Dennis Lawrence, and Telfer earned his first senior national call-up.

He made his debut against Martinique in the Concacaf Nations League and helped win a penalty for T&T to earn a draw. Since then, he’s made 11 appearances and scored five.

Following a successful season with York9 FC that year, Telfer moved to Cyprus to play for Nea Salamina Famagusta. His spell there was short-lived and he returned to Canada, to rejoin the renamed York United.

Over the next two years, Telfer represented Canadian club Atletico Ottawa in 2021, then moved to Columbus Crew II to play in the MLS Next Pro, which they won in 2022.

Now he plays for Miami FC in the United Soccer League. They’re currently eighth in the playoffs and need a win from their final match against Sacramento FC on Saturday to make it in.

On Friday night, however, Telfer suits up in red, white and black for T&T’s Concacaf Nations League A test against Guatemala at Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo, from 9pm.

“I’m missing the last game (Miami FC) of the season, which could ultimately decide our fate, whether we’ll have a post-season (competition) or not.

"But it’s about getting your priorities right. You have to weigh your options. We (T&T) just need one win to put us into the knockout rounds, and it’s important for the country and younger generation of footballers. We don’t get the opportunity every year to qualify for a prestigious competition like Copa America. I have faith in my clubmates and the national team,” he said.

Telfer is one of six foreign-based players brought in for Friday’s clash and Tuesday’s away test against Curacao.

T&T won their two opening group A matches against Curacao and El Salvador, and one win from either upcoming match, guarantees them a spot in the quarter-finals.

Against the latter, Telfer scored in the 22nd minute to level the match 1-1, which spurred on the Angus Eve-led unit to a nail-biting 3-2 victory.

Like his coach, Telfer wants more support from local fans on Friday.

“Nothing changed from since we were last here, about a month ago (against Curacao at Hasely Crawford Stadium) playing at home. If we (are) honest with ourselves and the surroundings, no one actually believes in us to make it to the knockout round, despite even having six points at this stage. People still believe Guatemala to be the better team and whatnot,” he said.

When asked how he plans to handle the match mentally, Telfer replied, “It’s just the focus, being humble and knowing what we’re worth and what we can accomplish if we put our heads together.

“That’s the mindset: nothing to be worried about. God will decide your fate at the end of the day, as he did last month. We have to keep focused on the task at hand, keep out the noise.”

On his goal against El Salvador, he said, “It was a great feeling. (It) came from all of us, especially the back line, for keeping us in the game for the most part. We just needed that one chance or glimpse of home to get going, and it just so happened to be me.

“From that point, the goal made everyone believe that nothing is impossible.

"Sometimes players get scared going into those games, especially the younger guys, the atmosphere sometimes get to them, and it just helps them realise that they have talent too.”

His dream for T&T football is to see the national team “flourish,” whether it’s qualifying for the World Cup or any major tournament, to lifting any trophy or cup.

“We’re giving it our all and hopefully we’d get a chance to play in the expanded FIFA World Cup in future years.

"You just want to give hope for younger generations here in T&T. Let them know they will be wearing my jersey one day.”

Telfer showered praise on domestic football club Skhy FC for playing an integral role in crafting him into the player he is today. He also acknowledged York University coach Carmine Isacco for giving him the opportunity to express himself on the pitch, a move which propelled his football career at a critical stage.

Halifax Wanderers sign Canadian/Trinidadian forward Ryan Telfer
hfxwanderersfc.canpl.ca


The Halifax Wanderers have signed Canadian/Trinidadian forward Ryan Telfer to a contract for the 2024 CPL season with a club option for 2025.

Telfer, 29, joins the Wanderers from USL Championship side Miami FC, where he scored five goals in 30 matches during the 2023 season.

“I have known Ryan for a long time and had the pleasure of working with him on several occasions; we’re excited to add a player of his level to our attack,” Wanderers head coach Patrice Gheisar said. “He’s a left-footer that has loads of experience against tough opposition playing in some big games for club and country and has developed into a leader over the years. We expect Ryan to help us stretch the game and bring his ability on the ball this season.”

Telfer is a household name in the Canadian Premier League, having played from 2019 to 2021 with York United and Atlético Ottawa. He scored the first goal in CPL history on April 27, 2019, in the league’s inaugural match between York and Forge FC. In 49 league matches, Telfer has scored 11 goals.

“I’ve been interested in joining the Wanderers for a long time, going back to the start of the CPL, so I’m excited it’s finally happening,” Telfer said. “I’m looking forward to playing in Canada again and being on a team that is playing an exciting brand of football. Also, the atmosphere in Halifax has always been something I looked forward to playing in, and I’m happy to be on the home side this time.”

Able to play on either wing and a scoring threat with both feet, Telfer signed with Toronto FC in 2017 after playing at York University and Vaughan Azzurri. He made his MLS debut for Toronto in 2018, scoring his first goal on May 19 of that year against Orlando City SC. Over three seasons at the club (2017-2019), Telfer made a combined 58 appearances between Toronto FC and TFC II.

Telfer signed with Columbus Crew 2 in MLS Next Pro for the 2022 season, scoring three times in 12 regular season matches. He also scored in the league’s championship match as Crew 2 won the first title in league history.

“We are delighted to welcome a player of Ryan’s pedigree to the Wanderers, someone we have tracked for a number of seasons,” sporting director Matt Fegan said. “His experience in this league, as well as his flourishing international career alongside our club captain Andre Rampersad for Trinidad & Tobago, make Ryan a valuable addition to the squad.”

Born in Mississauga, Ontario, Telfer spent his childhood in Trinidad and Tobago before returning to Canada as a teenager, qualifying him as a domestic player. He was called up by Trinidad and Tobago in September of 2019 and made his international debut in a CONCACAF Nations League match against Martinique. In 28 appearances for his country, Telfer has scored nine goals and tallied six assists. Alongside Wanderers captain Andre Rampersad, Telfer featured in Trinidad and Tobago’s recent 2-1 victory over the United States in November.

Over three seasons at the club (2017-2019), Telfer made a combined 58 appearances between Toronto FC and TFC II.

Telfer signed with Columbus Crew 2 in MLS Next Pro for the 2022 season, scoring three times in 12 regular season matches. He also scored in the league’s championship match as Crew 2 won the first title in league history.

“We are delighted to welcome a player of Ryan’s pedigree to the Wanderers, someone we have tracked for a number of seasons,” sporting director Matt Fegan said. “His experience in this league, as well as his flourishing international career alongside our club captain Andre Rampersad for Trinidad & Tobago, make Ryan a valuable addition to the squad.”

Born in Mississauga, Ontario, Telfer spent his childhood in Trinidad and Tobago before returning to Canada as a teenager, qualifying him as a domestic player. He was called up by Trinidad and Tobago in September of 2019 and made his international debut in a CONCACAF Nations League match against Martinique. In 28 appearances for his country, Telfer has scored nine goals and tallied six assists. Alongside Wanderers captain Andre Rampersad, Telfer featured in Trinidad and Tobago’s recent 2-1 victory over the United States in November.

We need more players in the Canadian CPL. The football is good in that league.

Europe over Canada for sure. But what's more realistic? The Canadian Premier League has been extremely "kind" to TT football.
