Toronto Fc: Steven Beitashour and Right Side

toronto fc: Williams will likely be looked upon to fill a hole on the right side of a leaky Vancouver defence that gave up 52 goals in 2016 compared to just 36 the previous year, according to The Chronicle Herald. The Whitecaps traded Steven Beitashour to Toronto FC prior to last season, hoping that newcomers Jordan Smith or Fraser Aird would step up as replacements. The deal for the 26-year-old hinges on the receipt of his international transfer certificate and Canadian work permit. But both failed to impress, and neither will be back in 2017. Those 22 assists are the fourth most by a defender during that period. Williams a Boston native whose first name is pronounced Shane-en has started 172 of 179 appearances with Houston and the Philadelphia Union since joining Major League Soccer in 2010, scoring seven goals to go along with 22 assists.
