Jonathan Sirois (born 27 June 2001) is a Canadian soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Valour FC of Canadian Premier League on loan from CF Montréal of Major League Soccer.

Early life[]

Born in LaSalle, Quebec, Sirois grew up in Saint-Hubert, Quebec, where he played youth soccer with CS St-Hubert[1] before moving to the Montreal Impact Academy in 2015, where he played for the U15, U17, and U19 teams.[2] He was invited to the Generation Adidas International Elite Soccer Program in 2018.[3]

Club career[]

After his time in the academy, he signed a first team contract with the Montreal Impact to serve as the team's third goalkeeper on 6 March 2020.[4] He became the 18th academy player to sign a Homegrown Player Contract with the club.[5]

On 22 July 2020, Sirois joined the Vancouver Whitecaps FC on a one-day emergency loan, to serve as the team's backup goalkeeper against Chicago Fire FC during the MLS is Back Tournament.[6][7] Vancouver was left with only third string goalkeeper Thomas Hasal available after the team's other two goalkeepers, Maxime Crepeau and Bryan Meredith, were unavailable due to injury and a family situation, respectively. The team was also not able to add the league's pool goalkeepers to the roster because the transfer window was closed, due to pool goalkeeper Charlie Lyon's International Transfer Certificate being in the US, while the Whitecaps were a Canadian team, while the other pool, Caleb Patterson-Sewell, whose ITC was in Canada, had already left the bio-secure bubble that the tournament was being hosted in (which is also the reason they could not add an outside keeper).[8] Sirois was able to be added to the roster, due to the Impact being a Canadian team as well, which meant his ITC was already in Canada, as well as already being in the bubble.[9]

Loan to Valour FC[]

In 2021, he was sent on loan to Valour FC of the Canadian Premier League to gain match experience.[10][11] He made his debut for Valour on June 27 against Forge FC, recording a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory.[12] He began the season with six consecutive clean sheets, setting a league record.[13] On August 17, he was recalled from his loan by Montreal,[14] but on August 23, he was loaned back to Valour.[15]
