New York City FC signed forward Alonso Martinez to an extension through 2027 with options through 2029.

"We're thrilled to extend Alonso's contract and keep him at New York City FC for the long term," sporting director David Lee said in a news release Friday.

Martinez scored a goal in NYCFC's season-opening 2-2 draw with Inter Miami CF on Feb. 22.

The 26-year-old Costa Rica native scored 16 goals in 26 MLS matches in his first full season with the club in 2024.

"Alonso's ability to impact games with his movement, creativity, and goal-scoring instinct has been invaluable," Lee said. "As Alonso enters the prime of his career, we're excited to see him continue to develop and contribute to the team's success in the years ahead, as we look to compete for trophies year in and year out."
