Marky came here as a very minor piece in the puzzle, a guy most everyone passed over in the Chivas dispersal draft.

It took him a long time to earn regular minutes.

Then he had to become a starter.

He was a regular starter in the greatest midfield in the league, and the greatest team in MLS history.

He was superb in TFC's 2018 CCL run. Absolutely a rock.

There were better midfielders in MLS, but Mark was very solid. He rarely got outhustled and rarely made mistakes.

Greg Vanney knew him from the Chivas academy, brought him here, and it seems fitting. I am glad for him that he is going home, and that they will continue to grow together.

What a player. It's just business, but sad to see him go. You come to love these guys.
