Goal, assist on debut Nelson scored one goal and assisted thrice from three shots and five chances created in Sunday's 4-1 win against Portland Timbers.

Impact Nelson's debut for Vancouver went about as perfectly as possible, he scored, assisted and looked immediately dangerous down the flank. The winger will have some competition for minutes when everyone is fit, but he looked good next to Brian White and Ryan Gauld, and should be a strong contributor when healthy.

Returning to MLS Nelson has completed a transfer to Vancouver from Rosenborg, according to his new club.

Impact Nelson is returning for a second bout in MLS, once again joining a Canadian team as he inks a contract through 2028 with Vancouver. He comes to the club off a loan stint with Ulm from Rosenborg, appearing just six times while making one start. However, he did register 29 starts in 44 appearances to go along with eight goals and nine assists while he did play with Rosenborg for a year and a half. He will likely see more of a rotational role with his new club, although he could work into a larger role given his solid experience at only 22 years of age, already appearing in 124 professional matches.

Comes off bench in season finale Nelson subbed in for the final five minutes of the 4-0 Decision Day defeat against the Union.

Impact Nelson had a breakout campaign for Toronto, making 31 appearances (25 starts) on the left wing or in midfield and tallying his first MLS goal -- against RSL in April -- and a pair of assists. The 20-year-old probably comes up just short of his club's first-choice XI for 2023 when everyone is fit and available, but he can provide valuable cover in midfield for a 35-year-old Michael Bradley and the injury-riddled pair of Jonathan Osorio and Mark-Anthony Kaye, as well as in attack for the league's highest-paid player in Lorenzo Insigne.
