Reyna: "We're excited to have Maxi extend his contract with NYCFC"

NYCFC Sporting Director Claudio Reyna said: “We’re very excited to have Maxi extend his contract with NYCFC. Since he joined our Club three years ago, his contributions on and off the pitch have been clear to everyone. He’s a role model, a top professional and the best compliment I can give him is that he makes every player around him better.

“He’s accepted his role as a leader within the team and his influence on the pitch has been tremendous. I know how much Maxi loves the Club and how motivated he is to bring championships to NYCFC.”

Moralez is the sixth core NYCFC player to sign a contract extension in the past 12 months. He joins midfielder Alex Ring, defenders Alex Callens, Maxime Chanot, and Anton Tinnerholm, and goalkeeper Sean Johnson as players who have committed their long-term futures to the Club.
