The LA Galaxy announced on Monday they have signed homegrown attacker Jonathan Perez to a four-year contract extension, with a club option for the 2027 season.
Perez, 19, just wrapped up his second season as a member of LA’s first team. In 2022, he made three competitive appearances across all competitions, plus scored one of the goals in the Leagues Cup Showcase friendly against Chivas. Perez hasn’t yet broken through into the Galaxy rotation at first team level, but he’s been pretty good in the USL Championship with LA Galaxy II, and the club must have him in their plans moving forward.
