[edit] Club career

Gyaki started his career with Calgary Storm and was discovered by Sheffield United in Cuba while touring with a Calgary select team. Unfortunately, after just one game with United's reserves in August 2005, he damaged knee ligaments and missed the entire 2005-06 promotion campaign. A regular in United's Reserves 'B' this season, Gyaki was an unused substitute in United's Reserves 'A' opener against Bolton. Along with team-mates Colin Marrison and James Ashmore, Gyaki played as a trialist for Yeovil Town against Welton Rovers in the Somerset Premier Cup on October 3, 2006. He was released by United in 2007 subsequently joining Rostock.

[edit] International career

In 2004-05 season, after recovering from torn abdominal muscles, Gyaki captained Canada and scored all four of their goals during qualifying for the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in The Netherlands. He played ninety minutes in all three of Canada's games in the tournament against Colombia, Syria and Italy. He was named Canada Youth Player of the Year in 2005.
