What happened: The Toronto Tempo have signed French wing Ornella Bankole to a developmental contract, the team announced Monday. Bankole is a 5-foot-11 forward who joins Toronto's roster as the franchise builds out its depth.

Why it matters: Developmental signings let an expansion-era roster like Toronto's evaluate young, international talent without committing a standard roster spot. Adding a French wing widens the Tempo's scouting footprint in Europe as they assemble their core.

What to watch: Watch whether Bankole earns time in training camp and how Toronto structures the rest of its developmental and standard roster as the season progresses.
