Hoilett trains with TFC, but only to keep in shape before returning to England
TORONTO – There was a guest star at Toronto FC training Tuesday: Queens Park Rangers forward David (Junior) Hoilett.
The native of Brampton, Ont., and his younger brother Jaineil are training temporarily with the MLS team before returning to their respective clubs in Europe.
Junior said he asked Toronto FC manager Ryan Nelsen, a former QPR player himself, if he could work out with the team during the off-season.
Jaineil has represented Canada at the under-20 level but Junior, who turns 23 on Wednesday, has yet to decide his international allegiance. He’s also eligible for Jamaica and has reportedly also said he would consider England if he met the requirements.
Asked about where his international future lies, he smiled and said: “My lips are sealed right now.”
The 21-year-old Jaineil plays for a lower-tier German side.
