What's going on with Charlie Sharp? Does Toronto FC still have his rights? 

– Anthony Trentadue (and several other people) 

Remember Charlie Sharp? You probably don't. 

TFC selected the forward from Western Michigan with the 61st overall pick in the third round of last year's MLS SuperDraft.  

At that point Sharp was a 21-year-old native of Michigan who played four seasons for the Broncos, scoring 23 goals and recording 14 assists in 69 games (50 as a starter). In 2022, he posted personal bests for goals (11), assists (eight), games played and starts (21), and minutes (1,776). In 2019, he was named the Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year and picked up All-MAC First Team honours.
