The 28-year-old midfielder, born in Buenos Aires and raised in Toronto, joined Atletico Ottawa in the off-season from Pacific FC — part of a strong Ottawa recruiting class.
Atletico Ottawa marks its 100th game in all competitions on Saturday when it hosts Cavalry FC at TD Place Stadium. Only five returning players figured in Ottawa's starting lineup in the season-opening 2-1 comeback win over visiting York: star attacker Ollie Bassett, veteran goalkeeper Nate Ingham, defender Luke Singh , 38-year-old Spanish midfielder Alberto Zapater and forward Samuel Salter.Aparicio led the way, scoring in the 63rd minute to tie it at 1-1 before setting up Twardek for the 79th-minute winner.
He was 17 when he signed a homegrown player contract with TFC in August 2013, becoming the eighth player to join the first team from the academy. He played for TFC II and spent time on loan to the USL's Wilmington Hammerheads. A Canadian youth international, he was 19 when he made his lone appearance for Canada’s senior team, coming off the bench in a 1-0 loss to Colombia in an October 2014 friendly.
