Former Toronto FC captain Darren O’Dea has no beef with the MLS side as he begins the next chapter of his soccer career with Ukraine’s Metallurg Donetsk.
O’Dea left Toronto prior to Saturday’s game in Kansas City, with manager Ryan Nelsen saying the team could not renew his salary, which was listed at $456,250 but was actually higher since allocation money was used down to pay down the salary cap cost. That made him the highest-paid player in the league, outside of designated players whose salary cap hits are just $368,750.
