NYCFC sign M Santiago Rodriguez through 2027

New York City FC reacquired midfielder Santiago Rodriguez from Montevideo City Torque and signed him through the 2027 season, the club announced Friday.

The 23-year-old Uruguayan will don the No. 10 jersey and occupy a Designated Player spot on the roster.

Rodriguez delivered four goals and 13 assists in 32 MLS matches (29 starts) in his second season with NYCFC in 2022.

“We are excited to welcome Santi back to NYCFC on a permanent basis,” sporting director David Lee said. “Over the last two seasons Santi developed into one of the most impactful attacking players in MLS and quickly became a very important part of our group. He has an extremely bright future ahead of him and at just 23 years old, we know he will continue to develop and improve.

“Bringing Santi back to the Club was a priority for us and we are delighted that we have been able to finalize this deal. We’re looking forward to welcoming him back into the group and supporting his development over the years ahead.”

Rodriguez initially arrived on loan from Montevideo City in 2021, appearing in 21 MLS matches (11 starts) that season and contributing three goals and one assist as NYCFC captured the MLS Cup.

“I am delighted to be coming back to New York City. It’s a City and a Club that I have fell in love with. We have had many successes the past couple season and I hope to continue to bring happiness and silverware to the Club and our fans.

“I will continue to work hard and grow as a professional every day on-and-off the field and do my part in helping the Club achieve its goals. I am excited to be reunited with the New York City faithful and play in front of them again.”
