Eriks Santos is a name known by HFX Wanderers FC fans, even though they have yet to see him play.
The 24-year-old Brazilian was unable to join the squad for the 2020 Island Games in PEI because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but he’s itching to arrive in Halifax and prove to supporters that the wait will be worth it.
Santos watched every match of The Island Games from his home in Brazil and often reached out to show his support for the players and the club during the competition.
The Wanderers think enough of him that they extended his contract for next seasons, with two options on 2022 and 2023.
