wow - didn't see that coming. Seriously, I always thought they would just keep him on just because.
Will never forget his contributions in the 2018 CCL run.
This is an unbelievably stupid move from TFC. How can you get rid of a hometown kid who's been here 10 seasons for literally NO REASON. Such a piss off, we're losing all our homegrown Canadians. Hamilton, Chapman, Morgan gone for nothing
Thank you Ashtone for all your years of service and good luck in RSL!

He was fine for a bench player and in a perfect world would have been here for his whole career. Hopefully he works his way into their line up.
"There are some people who might have better technique than me, and some may be fitter than me, but the main thing is tactics. With most players, tactics are missing. You can divide tactics into insight, trust, and daring." - Johan Cruyff
He isn't an iconic player or anything, but there has never been a player more loyal to TFC. He did his job to the best of his abilities and that is all we can ask of any player.
Wow, so sad, goodbye "Mr. TFC." From Northern Secondary School (where he was known as an absolutely top-notch kid, and where my daughter is now) to the lows and the highs of the TFC Academy, TFC II & TFC. Absolute pro and a super-nice guy. In addition to competition for the position, he was unfortunately hampered by injuries in recent years. Hopefully Ashtone is able to reignite his career for a couple more years at RSL; he's still only 28.
It's going to feel so, so wrong seeing him playing for someone else but I hope he kills it.
From everything I've heard/read/seen on him, he has to be one of the league's greatest locker room guys. No matter what he's already a club legend in my mind
Our club historian has left us. I remember him and Henry being the two skinny teenagers who gave us hope that the club was improving through the dark early days. I wish him all the best in his new adventure.
exactly .....the man apparently didn’t watch the career of one our only and best crossers since the beginning when no one had faith in him . But being the pro and gentleman he is Ashton simply never gave up . Always shy and quick to smile , a local boy with quality parents who played soccer at a high school that ended the team one year , Northern . AND he made it professionally against all odds . He was the soul of our team and Canadian , not a star but dignified with unrelenting effort everyday waiting to prove himself often , put on cold .

Ashtone delivered on the biggest stage when it mattered the most. We sometimes forget that he had untimely injuries that hampered his development - one year (2015?) he was converted to wingback and was playing very well before he got hurt, for example - and never complained, just got on with it.
I wish him well and I hope we all do. Really sad that we cannot find a way to keep a player of his mentality, who can rise to the occasion like he did in the CCL yet still accept being a back up - when we are going to need to replace him anyway. Shortsighted of management. He’s the kind of player that matters, that you keep.
Do people here realize that Ashton Morgan is a free agent? He chose to go to RSL. Probably wants more playing time. He deserves the chance.
Big thanks to Ashtone for all his contributions over his tenure here. A little early but what about a pre-game cheer June 27th when RSL is in town?
its not gonnna be easy to find BIG game ready depth like ashton who wanting to be here.
I'm pretty sure I caught his and TFC Academy's first game back in 2008 in the semi-pro league against Toronto Croatia who'd won the title the year before.

Even if he's someone who never sees the field, you keep a solid guy like him around. You can afford that spot on him - a guy who keeps the locker room together.
I would have loved for him to play his whole career here and retired a Red. All the best Mr. TFC.
I have not seen that much of Toia since he left Montreal, but I have a prediction. Ashtone is going to be RSL's first choice at FB by mid season.

2012: Toronto FC vs LA Galaxy at SkyDome. 50,000 in attendance to see TFC draw LA 2-2. He was a big part of that game and our first CCL run.
Back then, we thought Morgan could be the next great Canadian player. He didn't fully reach our lofty expectations, but the man came up big in some key moments.
It was an honour to watch him play!
