This week, the Colorado Rapids made two roster moves, signing Braian Galván to a three-year contract extension and adding Anthony Markanich on a one-year deal.
Galván’s new deal will run through the 2024 season with an option for the following year. The 21-year-old came to Colorado midway through 2020 on a free transfer from Club Atlético Colón. The Argentine winger has made 35 appearances across all competitions for Colorado, netting three goals and adding four assists in that span. He’s out for the season due to an ACL tear, which was surgically repaired last month.
“Braian has quickly developed into a key member of our team during his time with the club,” Colorado Rapids Executive VP & General Manager Pádraig Smith said in a news release, “His 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.
