Winger Nick DeLeon signs new contract with Toronto FC that runs through 2021

Toronto FC winger Nick DeLeon has been rewarded with a new contract that will keep him with the MLS club through the 2021 season.

His existing deal was to expire at the end of 2019. The 28-year-old from Phoenix made US$275,000 last year, according to the MLS Players Association.

DeLeon joined Toronto via the re-entry draft last December after D.C. United declined his contract option.

He has started all four league games for Toronto this season with one goal and three assists.
