“Derek Cornelius came into the March camp in Spain with the Men’s National Team and showed a lot of maturity and composure for a young player which led us into the Maurice Revello Tournament in May and June where he took the captain’s armband and helped us to achieve some pretty remarkable results. He has strong character and a drive to reach the top so we hope he can continue to progress”, said the Canada senior national team head coach John Herdman.
