Toronto FC announced Thursday that the club has placed midfielder Terry Dunfield on waivers.

“This was a difficult decision to make but our midfielders have been playing well, and there are young players to develop and find minutes for. We felt this was the best decision for both the club and Terry moving forward,” said Toronto FC Head Coach Ryan Nelsen. “On behalf of everyone at Toronto FC, we’d like to thank Terry for his contributions to the club and wish him well in his future endeavours.”

Dunfield, 31, was originally acquired in a trade with Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 14, 2011. Dunfield made 56 combined appearances in MLS league play, CONCACAF Champions League, and the Amway Canadian Championship, while adding six goals for Toronto FC.
