Philadelphia Union captain Alejandro Bedoya will be under contract for at least the next two seasons.
On Thursday, the 32-year-old midfielder inked an extension with the club that lasts until the end of the 2021 Major League Soccer regular season with a club option for 2022.
“’Ale’ has exceeded expectations we set for him as a leader on the pitch, in the locker room, and throughout the community,” Union sporting director Ernst Tanner said. “At the Union, passion and drive are qualities that we look for, and nobody represents that better than Alejandro. It was very important for us to ensure the captain that led us to our first playoff win remains at our club to push us forward and set an example for our young core.
