2013: The Strikers announced the re-signing of Toni Ståhl on March 11, 2013.

Ståhl captained the Strikers in the opening match of the 2013 NASL season against FC Edmonton on April 6th. He provided the assist on the equalizing goal scored by David Foley. Named to the NASL Team of the Week for Week 1.

Ståhl scored the winning penalty kick for the Strikers in the penalty kick shootout against Laredo Heat in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Second Round.

2012: NASL Best XI defender Toni Ståhl remained with the Strikers for a second season in 2012. He was named team captain in the offseason.

For the second season, Ståhl was the anchor for the Striker's back line, displaying a toughness and tackling ability which drove teams to find other avenues of attack. He played primarily as a center back alongside Jack Stewart, and later Scott Gordon.

Ståhl finished the season with 23 starts in 23 appearances in all competitions.

2011: Ståhl established himself as one of the league’s premier defenders in 2011. After starting the season as a holding midfielder, the tough-tackling defender was moved to a more familiar position in the center of defense following Aaron Hohlbein’s season-ending injury. He hasn’t looked back since. Named to the NASL Best XI for the 2011 season for his no-nonsense performances at the heart of the Strikers defense.

Ståhl played 27 times for the Strikers in 2011, recorded a total of 2,273 minutes, and picked up five bookings.

Professional: Prior to finishing college, Ståhl was subject to interest from several European clubs, but decided to sign with Major League Soccer instead. Ståhl was drafted in the 2nd round (17th overall) of the 2010 MLS SuperDraft by expansion side Philadelphia Union. He made just two appearances in all competitions with the Union, and was sent off on his MLS debut. Spent a brief spell on loan with the Harrisburg City Islanders before being released from Philadelphia at the end of the season. A free agent, Ståhl signed with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers on April 1, 2011.

Before coming to the United States to play collegially, Ståhl played professionally in native Finland with FC Espoo from 2003 until 2006.

College: From 2006 to 2009, Ståhl was a standout college soccer player at the University of Connecticut. In four seasons with the Huskies, Ståhl played a total of 79 games, scored two goals, and chipped in with nine assists.
