The Colorado Rapids signed Braian Galvan to a three-year contract extension through the 2024 season despite a knee injury that has the midfielder out for nine months.
The deal for the 21-year-old Argentina native includes a club option for 2025. No financial terms were released.
“(Galvan’s) recent injury was a real blow, as he was coming off a positive 2021 season in which he demonstrated his keen eye for goal and versatility on both wings, as well as having an exceptional start to this preseason,” Rapids general manager Padraig Smith said in a release. “Despite this injury setback, we have full faith in his ability to bounce back stronger than before and continue his upward trajectory.”
Galvan has played two seasons with the Rapids after joining the team in July 2020, transferring from Club Atletico Colon in his home country. He posted two goals along with three assists in 24 games (14 starts) last season for Colorado.
In his two seasons with the Rapids, Galvan has three goals and four assists in 33 regular-season matches played (16 starts).
