FALL RIVER:<\/strong> A midfield soccer player from Fall River will be getting some home cooking while playing the sport he loves for a couple more seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scott Firth, a Lockview High alum, had a multi-year deal for 2022 and 2023 announced by the Halifax Wanderers on June 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 20-year-old\u2019s extension will see his time as a Wanderer after playing with the club for the last two seasons. Entering 2021, Firth has earned a multi-year extension with the Wanderers and is looking forward to playing once again in front of his friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI feel the city behind me as well being a local, so I just can\u2019t wait to play in front of them again,\u201d explained Firth in a team release. \u201cI\u2019m hoping soon enough we can all return home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This has been an exciting week for Canadian soccer following the announcement of The Kickoff \u2013 the Canadian Premier League 2021 season\u2019s opening stanza set to start June 26 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. <\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”8″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”34″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s now great to see another local player that will be travelling with the team and representing Halifax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re always pleased when we can sign and retain a local, high calibre player in our squad,\u201d said Matt Fegan, VP Football Operations. \u201cScott understands what it means to be Nova Scotian. He is a local young man representing thousands of fellow Haligonians on the pitch and has benefited from the great youth club development systems around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot only is this contract extension a reward for Scott\u2019s hard work and talents, but it continues to show our commitment to giving players from this region a chance to establish themselves on a professional level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m certain this story can inspire young players sitting in the stands at the Wanderers Grounds that they too can go all the way with the same grit and determination as Scott has shown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Firth is the 20th player officially added to the Wanderers roster for the 2021 season. He joins other local players Christian Oxner and Kieran Baskett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”6″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”111″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [adrotate banner=”127″] [adrotate banner=”84″] FALL RIVER: A midfield soccer player from Fall River will be getting some home cooking while playing the sport he loves for a couple more seasons.
