Career

Club

Cela began his career at the age of eight when playing for Mississauga Falcons SC.[1] On May 1, 2015, it was announced that Cela was one of four academy players to sign agreements with Toronto FC II, alongside Gabriel Boakye, Malik Johnson and Brogan Engbers.[2] He made a single appearance for the affiliate club during the 2015 USL season. Cela made his professional debut on the final day of the season, playing for 29 minutes in a 2-0 defeat to Rochester Rhinos.[3]

International

Due to Cela's parents being born in Albania, he is eligible to represent both Canada and Albania. Cela was chosen to be included in the Canada Under-15 camps in Vaughan and Costa Rica, as well as an Under-18 development camp. However, he is yet to make an international appearance for either nation.[1]
