Hugo Mbongue starting over again after TFC departure
In a 1-on-1 interview, Mbongue discusses his exit from Toronto FC, signing with Crown Legacy FC, and much more.
Hugo Mbongue is no stranger to York Lions Stadium.
The now 21-year-old forward spent two seasons playing there with TFC 2 in 2022 and 2023, earning himself a first team homegrown contract with Toronto FC in the process. But after a series of loan spells and his departure from the MLS club last off-season, his recent return to his old stomping grounds was a little different.
Mbongue signed with Crown Legacy FC (the affiliate club of Charlotte FC) in February and made his return to York Lions Stadium on April 12 when his team battled to a 3-3 draw against TFC 2 in an MLS NEXT Pro regular season match.
“It’s been three years now, so it felt good to be here. A bit weird being on the other side of the dugout, but it was good,” Mbongue told TFC Republic.
