Yesterday, the Colorado Rapids announced the signing of German attacker Stefan Aigner, and today it was announced that current defender Axel Sjoberg has been re-signed for a 3-year contract extension with a club option for 2021. Last year, Sjöberg earned MLS Best XI and was one of the three finalists for MLS Defender of the Year. This year, he went out early in the season with a freak injury requiring surgery and has only played six games due to other nagging injuries.
“I actually did a great job recovering from that injury,” Sjöberg said about the surgery.
