New York City FC is delighted to confirm the appointment of Sean Johnson as Club captain.
The 31-year-old was acquired by the Club in 2017 and has since made 116 regular season appearances for NYCFC in MLS.
“My first reaction honestly, I’m humbled and honored,” Johnson told the club’s official website. “It’s a feeling that’s hard to describe. This Club means everything to me. From the first time I came here in 2017, the Club welcomed me with open arms, the front office, the players, the fans. It’s felt like family since I’ve been here.
“For me now, going on into year five, being a veteran leader of this group, I understand what it means to play for this Club.
