Houston Dynamo defender Griffin Dorsey signed a new contract through the 2025 season with a club option for 2026, the club announced Tuesday.
Dorsey, 24, would have become a free agent this offseason after helping the Dynamo win the U.S. Open Cup, make a run to the Western Conference final and secure their place in the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup.
In his third season with the Dynamo, Dorsey collected five goals and three assists in all competitions, highlighted by the opening goal in the U.S. Open Cup final victory.
"Re-signing Griffin was one of our priorities this offseason," general manager Pat Onstad said. "He was not only an impact player in our U.S. Open Cup championship and run to the Western Conference Final, but his team-first mentality, competitiveness and commitment to everyday improvement are exemplars for every young player in our club."
Dorsey was the sixth overall pick in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft by Toronto and signed with the Dynamo in 2021.
In 68 MLS matches (46 starts) with Toronto (2019-20) and Houton, Dorsey has six goals and eight assists.
