Manuel "Manny" Aparicio (born September 17, 1995) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays as a midfielder.
Aparicio signed his first professional contract in 2013 at the age of 17 years old, becoming the eighth TFC Academy graduate to the professional team.[1] He appeared in two midseason friendlies for Toronto FC in 2015, against English Premier League teams Manchester City[2] and Sunderland.[3]
He was loaned out in early 2014 to USL PRO side Wilmington Hammerheads after the two clubs formed a partnership. He was loaned alongside Quillan Roberts and Daniel Lovitz.[4] Aparicio made his debut for Wilmington in the season opener on April 5, 2014, against the Harrisburg City Islanders.[5]
