James Sands returns to NYCFC, signs new four-year contract

James Sands is officially back with New York City FC, cutting short his loan to Rangers FC to return to his first professional club on a new four-year contract through the 2027 season.

The club made the much-speculated-about move official with a video reveal that doubled as a helpful confirmation of Sands’ new kit number for the 2023 season.
