York United FC can confirm goalkeeper Adisa De Rosario has returned to TFC II following a four-game loan spell with The Nine Stripes.

With Eleias Himaras now fully recovered from a meniscus injury that required surgery in early August, De Rosario has had his short-term contract terminated.

The 18-year-old, who played alongside older brother Osaze while with the club, delivered a litany of big moments during his short tenure, including one Save of the Season contender and another that might just prove season-defining.

In total, De Rosario racked up 360 minutes - contributing immensely to the club's quest to reach the mandatory 2,000 mark for Under-21 players.

It was a baptism of fire for the youngster on his debut, getting the start in a local derby clash at Forge FC. De Rosario made some key saves, allowing his side take a 3-2 lead, before the hosts were awarded a penalty. The teen conjured a special moment when he dived to his right and pushed away Terran Campbell's subsequent spot-kick, though the loose ball fell perfectly for the attacker and he scored at the second time of asking.

De Rosario's next two outings - against Vancouver FC and Halifax Wanderers - saw a pair of victories and, in the case of the latter, one standout stop.

"Adisa helped us weather a difficult period when it came to our goalkeeping situation, and we thank him for his contributions to our club during that time," said Angus McNab, President/CEO and GM of York United FC.

"We are excited to have both Elias and Niko back to full health and available for selection for our final four games of the regular season."
