Orlando City D Robin Jansson signs extension

Orlando City re-signed captain Robin Jansson to a contract extension through the 2027 season on Monday.

The 33-year-old Swedish defender has been with the club since 2019, recording six goals and four assists in 193 MLS matches. He is the club's all-time leader with 238 appearances across all competitions.

"Robin has been the heartbeat of this team for years," general manager and sporting director Ricardo Moreira said. "His leadership on and off the field sets the standard for what it means to wear our badge. He defends this club and this city with unmatched passion, and we're thrilled to keep him in purple as we continue building toward more success.

"Robin's commitment goes beyond words, as we worked together to restructure his deal in a way that allows us to keep him in Orlando and build towards our collective goals, showing just how much this club and community mean to him."

Jansson helped Orlando capture the franchise's first trophy at the 2022 US Open Cup and has led the team to six consecutive MLS Cup playoff appearances.

"It's an honor to continue representing these colors, and I feel super excited to sign a new contract. This club has given me so much during my time here, and I hope I can give back in the best way possible," Jansson said.

"The support I have received from the fans means everything, and I'll keep giving it my all every time I step on the pitch. Here's to more moments, more growth and more victories together."
