New York City FC have announced that star striker and club captain David Villa has signed renewed his contract in an agreement to remain with the franchise until the end of the 2018 MLS season.
David Villa became the club’s first-ever player in June 2014 and took up the position of club captain shortly afterward.
Since he made his debut, Villa has established himself as the club’s most important player as well and to many, the best player in the MLS.
He notched eighteen goals in his debut season with the MLS, and went on to score 23 the following season as he helped the Boys in Blue to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in their history and claim the MLS’s Most Valuable Player Award in addition to the club’s player of the year award, which he also earned in 2015.
