Michael Petrasso has been named the Canada U20 national team Player of the Year.
The 19-year old QPR winger, who is currently on loan with Notts County, landed the prize on Wednesday after being voted in by national team coaches (50% of the vote) and Canadian clubs and coaches (also 50%).
Petrasso, who has previously enjoyed loan spells Oldham Athletic, Coventry City and Leyton Orient, becomes the fourth straight player out of the Toronto FC academy to land the award, following Dylan Carreiro (2013), Doneil Henry (2012) and Ashtone Morgan (2011).
"Michael has had a very good year, turning in terrific performance at loan clubs away from QPR and adds a different dimension for all the others when he joins the national squad," said Canadian U20 head coach Rob Gale in a news release.
"Always fit and with terrific endurance and speed, he shows the others how to be a full 90-minute player. A very worthy winner."
Honoured to be named Canadian U20 player of the year
