Jelle has penned a new contract, and this time, he’s making the big bucks.
This morning the LA Galaxy signed defender Jelle Van Damme to a contract extension.
Obviously this is great news. The MLS Defender of the Year nominee was the Galaxy’s most valuable player last season.
“Jelle showed last season that he is undoubtedly one of the best defenders in Major League Soccer,” echoed LA Galaxy GM Peter Vagenas. “His contract will still give us the flexibility to bolster our roster during the summer. He is a leader, a winner and a competitor and will continue to be a centerpiece along our backline.
