Before I start going in to details of Carl Haworth's journey from an under developed boy from Barrie a town 45 minutes from Toronto, to playing division 1 soccer at Niagara University and sweeping up all the individual accolades that one can receive in Niagara Universities conference, to being the first player to be drafted into the MLS (Major League Soccer) in Niagara's history, to getting selected to represent team Canada at the Olympic qualifying, to finally now his fight for securing a contract with Montreal Impact. I am going to tell you guys a little bit about Carl and where he comes from.
Born in Southport, England, Carl moved to Canada with his family in 1990 and settled in Barrie Ontario, a small town 45 minutes from Toronto. Coming from a proud English family Carl was introduced into the world of soccer by his father and soon to be coach for the next few years.
Growing up Carl's favourite Professional club that he use to and still supports is Everton F.C of the English premier league, he looked up to this idols on the the team to mirror their skills in the games as a youngster, but he came across difficulties in the early stages of his development as he matured significantly slower compared to the rest of the kids he grew up with, and found it frustrating to play with kids that often times were bigger than him. Carl needed to adapt in order to progress in his development, he learnt that in order to be affective in games he needed to be quicker and more agile to keep up with the "bigger" kids.
Carl lists his favourite moments growing up was playing for the local soccer team, Barrie S.C. where he helped his team get promoted to the top league in just 5 years and eventually winning the prestigious Ontario Indoor cup.
