YORK UNITED FC SELECTS CHRIS CAMPOLI & DANIAL RAFISAMII IN CPL-U SPORTS DRAFT The pair 
- both from Ontario Tech - are considered U21 for the 2021 season.

Toronto, ON (January 29, 2021) - York United Football Club is delighted to announce 
Chris Campoli and Danial Rafisamii as their picks from the 2021 CPL - U SPORTS Draft.

With the fourth selection in Round 1, the club chose 19-year-old attacking midfielder 
Campoli, a native of Woodbridge, ON. In Round 2, with the fifth selection, they went 
with midfielder Rafisamii, also 19 and a native of Toronto, ON, and Campoli's team-mate 
at the Ontario Tech Ridgebacks.

Both enjoyed solid 2019 rookie seasons, playing 29 games between them, while Campoli's 
six goals and six assists ensured he was voted the team's MVP.

The pair will now be invited to York United's pre-season training and will look to secure 
a U SPORTS Developmental Contract for the upcoming campaign. That allows a student 
athlete with one-to-five years of U SPORTS eligibility remaining to sign with a CPL side 
while still preserving their eligibility before returning to U SPORTS competition.
