2 hours ago he became a "Professional Soccer Player at Toronto FC" on his facebook information.

He also has a picture of a what appears to be an MLS game jersey and his name on the back.

Yeah, they also had pics of him doing the official team photoshoot today on TFC's website which is pretty damn close to official. In any case, great, good stuff, brings our roster to 19. More please.

He also said during his interview that he's very likely going to be part of the team. So looks like a sure thing

During the media day interview Omphroy said that he was all but signed. Stinson was a little more cautious with his words.

Yup Omphroy probably shouldnt of said so much during the live interview today but you could even see it on his face that the deal was 100% complete.

Stinson is in the books too, he was only cautious about saying something wrong because many questions were directed towards him as a starter and I believe he didn't want to confirm or deny that. Expect to see the boy on the bench come Saturday.

Stinson, Cordon, Morgan and Makubuya who all took part in the pre-season were at training and took part in the photoshoot yesterday.

In addition to Omphroy, draft picks Matt Gold and the little guy himself Joao Plata also were there.

@jasondevos (http://twitter.com/jasondevos) nothing is official just yet, so actually the press releases are necessary. I just got to try it on!

Like Regina mentioned, it's pretty much all over his facebook and I wouldn't be surprised if the club makes the announcement today.

Anyway, the guy sounds pretty excited to play here in Toronto. I hope it all works out well for us.

Awesome. The more players who want to be here the better.

Now all they have to do is come to terms with Matt Gold and all the draftpicks that brought in will be under contract. Have no idea what happened to Junior Burgos, he seemed never to show up.

Burgos was unable to acquire a work permit.

I didn't think Plata was signed yet either?

From my understanding Plata was loaned to the MLS so I am not sure what the status of his deal was, but he and Yourassowsky from what are know are next in line to sign their deals. Both were are training yesterday.

boys it looks like our little team is coming together, i think Plata is the definitive 'Jermaine Defoe' super-sub.
