There's players like Brad Gallagher, Cameron Berry, Cobi Green and Harry Shackleton who also under contract and will be in line to play first team.
I wouldn't be getting over excited about DR with Toronto (if true). They've always run a small squad and of course they have no Reserve or Academy set up. They have 23 players listed on their site currently, and whilst they will obviously add players, I doubt that they'll have loads of players to offer to us.

I looked at the player page on their website, I can only see five, one of whom (Ashton Sims) has now retired.

Won't Toronto have to run a reserve team next year though? thought it was now a requirement for SL teams or will they get an exemption?

Doesn't seem like it applies to Toronto, at least for 2020...
Cynics may suggest that they could use us as their 'de facto' reserve team. Remember that DR works both ways! Someone playing well for us might find themselves suddenly playing for Toronto in SL...
