Monterey Bay F.C. announced today that the club has signed Canadian fullback Morey Doner ahead of its inaugural USL Championship campaign.
The 27-year-old Collingwood, Ontario native joins Monterey Bay F.C. after spending the 2021 season with Canadian Premier League side HFX Wanderers. Prior to joining the Wanderers, Doner had a brief stint with Next Academy Palm Beach of USL League Two before stops with League1 Ontario clubs Durham (2014) and Aurora FC (2016-2018).
While in his final season with Aurora FC in 2018, Doner was named team captain, scored three goals and played every minute of every match on his way to earning a League1 Ontario All-Star selection. Doner then joined Canadian Premier League side York9 in 2019 where he recorded one goal and four assists in 36 appearances across two seasons.
“Morey is an exciting and quick right fullback that adds to the attack while also being a good one-on-one defender,” explained Monterey Bay F.C. Sporting Director and Head Coach Frank Yallop. “We’re excited to add him to the group.”
Doner will look to utilize his electric style of play to set the tone defensively for the Union this season.
“I’m very happy to take this step in my career with Monterey Bay F.C. next season in the USL Championship. I’m excited to show my qualities in a new league and to be a part of this project on the West Coast,” said Doner. “To work under a manager with such experience and pedigree is something I’m really looking forward to.”
