Cela made his professional debut on the final day of the season, playing for 29 minutes in a 2-0 defeat to Rochester Rhinos.[3]

Cela was chosen to be included in the Canada Under-15 camps in Vaughan and Costa Rica, as well as an Under-18 development camp. However, he is yet to make an international appearance for either nation.[1]
