Toronto, ON (January 22, 2025) - AFC Toronto is excited to announce the signing of another
local Canadian talent in 18-year-old April Lantaigne. Native to the Durham region, the versatile
wide player can make an impact in multiple positions and arrives at the club following a standout
freshman year at the University of South Alabama.
Before excelling at the NCAA Division I level, Lantaigne developed her skills close to home with
her local youth club, Whitby FC. She later thrived with the National Development Centre Ontario
playing in the Ontario Player Development League and the League1 Ontario Premier Division.
Additionally, she played for Team Ontario in 2022.
Lantaigne’s impressive club career led her to commit to the University of South Alabama
Jaguars where the freshman made an instant impact. A starter for all 19 games in the 2024
season, Lantaigne finished as the team’s joint-top assist provider (six) and scored two gamewinning
goals. Such influence helped the Jaguars claim the top spot in the Sun Belt West
Division and reach the quarterfinals of the 2024 Sun Belt Women's Soccer Championship.
