The Brampton native has played for the CanMNT and Toronto FC since 2013. He is a Brampton native of Colombian ancestry, as both, his parents grew up in Colombia.<\/p>\n<h2>Jonathan Osorio&#8217;s long history at BMO Field<\/h2>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/Total_TFC\/status\/1505366580938616839<\/p>\n<h3>Jonathan Osorio\u2019s childhood<\/h3>\n<p>Osorio grew up in Brampton, which is part of the Greater Toronto Area. This is what he said on The Brandon Gonez Show:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=geMgcHpCwIg\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201cWhen I was 12 years old when I joined Brampton Youth Soccer Club. We had two teams at the same time, Brampton Youth and Brampton East Soccer Club.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He was with Brampton Youth SC from 2002 to 07. He mentioned there was a rivalry with the Brampton East Soccer Club during his time there. Osorio also played for Clarkson Sheridan SC from 2008-10. A big lifestyle change happened though when he and his childhood friend, Lucas Cavallini (current forward for the Vancouver Whitecaps FC), travelled to Club Nacional de Football. Osorio was with the team from 2010-12.<\/p>\n<p>Both players grew up together and played for the Clarkson Soccer club in Mississauga according to Neil Davidson of the Canadian Press. Their team toured Uruguay, which ended with both players getting tryouts with Nacional. Cavallini was impressed with Osorio and said this about his game back in 2018 according to Davidson&#8217;s article:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a really interesting player,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/sports\/soccer\/canada-soccer-men-cavallini-osorio-1.4862552\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said Cavallini<\/a>. &#8220;You don&#8217;t really get players like that in Canada \u2014 really technical.
