ST. PAUL, Minn. — Time and a couple more players have been regular, public requests from Adrian Heath, dating back to his coaching days with Orlando City SC. Since joining Minnesota United FC ahead of its inaugural Major League Soccer season in 2017, Heath has been provided with both.
Minnesota United has given Heath a new contract guaranteed through 2021 with a club option for 2022, a source confirmed to Pro Soccer USA.
Heath’s extension is a reward for helping the franchise deliver on its now-infamous, three-year plan. The specter of 2017-18 — over which the Loons became the first team in MLS history to allow 70-plus goals in consecutive seasons — was in part exorcised by the team’s first appearance in the playoffs last season.
