FC Cincinnati signed defender Ian Murphy to a contract extension through the 2026 season.
The deal announced Thursday includes an option for 2027 for the 2022 first-round draft pick (14th overall).
Murphy, 24, has recorded one goal in 72 MLS matches (52 starts) over the past three seasons.
“Ian has demonstrated tremendous growth in his three years here, and he’s played a key role in our club’s success since he was drafted,” general manager Chris Albright said. “He’s a great teammate and a talented defender, and we’re looking forward to his continued development here with FC Cincinnati.”
Cincinnati (15-7-3, 48 points) entered the current Leagues Cup break in second place in the MLS Eastern Conference.
