Ottawa Fury FC News Release
OTTAWA - It has been a week to remember for Fury FC forward Carl Haworth. After being named the club's Player of the Year and Top Scorer on Monday, Haworth inked a new contract on Tuesday with the USL bound club. On Friday, Canada Soccer announced that Haworth will earn his first-ever call up to the Canada Men's National Team ahead of their international friendly with Korea Republic on November 11.
"It's a huge honour to be called up to the National Team," said Haworth who is coming off a career year in Ottawa. "It has always been a goal of mine and I'm really excited that it's become a reality. I would like to thank everyone at Ottawa Fury FC for helping me get to this point in my career."
Haworth scored seven goals and added four assists to lead the club in scoring in the NASL this season. The Barrie, ON native finished the season with eight goals and six assists in all competitions.
"We're so happy for Carl," said Fury FC head coach Paul Dalglish. "Carl's work ethic and commitment to the game has earned him this opportunity and we look forward to seeing another Fury FC player in the CANMNT."
Fury FC's leading scorer will see some familiar faces in the squad in Korea as teammates and local products Jamar Dixon (Ottawa) and Maxim Tissot (Gatineau) were also called to the CANMNT for this fixture earlier in the week.
Haworth last featured for Canada in 2012 as part of the CanM23 squad for their Olympic Qualifying Tournament where he made three appearances.
