“We’re delighted to welcome Rayane to Halifax, a quality Canadian goalkeeper who is already very familiar with the demands of the CPL,” sporting director Matt Fegan said. “At 25 he fits a profile our staff were targeting with his best years ahead of him.”
Yesli is likely to become the team's starting goalkeeper, replacing Yann Fillion, who left Halifax following the 2024 season.
