Senai Sereboe: Stay patient

Sereboe enjoyed her breakout season in 2025 with Scrosoppi in League1 Ontario (now the Ontario Premier League), helping to achieve promotion to OPL 1 for the upcoming season.

Last year, the young defender was called up to the U20 Ghana camp ahead of their qualifying games for the 2026 World Cup in Poland. With a bright future ahead, she has some important advice for those in a similar position.

She said: “My message would be to always believe in yourself and stay consistent. There will be challenges, but if you work hard every day and stay patient, opportunities will come.”

Jacob Cabral: Dream big

Another Scrosoppi youngster with big dreams is Cabral, who was honoured in the OPL end-of-season awards after plenty of fantastic performances. He made 18 regular-season appearances as SFC finished as the runners-up in their division standings.

The midfielder already has a wealth of experience in the Canadian Pro-Am game, and is returning to Milton in 2026 for another season in black, white, and gold. 

He said: “I would say dream big, always work to get better every day, even if it’s by one per cent. In soccer, being satisfied means that you are falling behind someone who is working harder, so always keep that in the back of your mind.” 

Alexia Rhooms: Believe in yourself

The 27-year-old got her first taste of the professional game in Portugal last year after a spell with Vilaverdense in Liga BPI, following a successful year with Scrosoppi in 2024. 

Not only is she developing her on-field game, but the defender also has aspirations of coaching the next generation of soccer players in Canada and wants to help develop as many future stars as possible. 

She said: “Work hard, stay consistent, and believe in yourself. Enjoy the journey – it’s not just about the destination. Take every training session and game as a chance to learn and grow and always play for your love of the game.”

Shayne Griffin: Providing a platform

Scrosoppi’s Executive & Technical Director, Shayne Griffin, has played a key role at SFC since 2021, and has been part of overseeing the Milton-based club’s growth and success from youth to senior level. 

He’s helping to make SFC a number-one stop for soccer players in Milton looking to progress their game and join the pathway to the professional levels.

He said: “We’re the only OPL license holder in Milton, and it’s a growing population, so it's exciting for us to be able to provide that platform for young talent, and that’s going to be our major contribution.”
