The New York Red Bulls announced a new contract Thursday for 19-year-old forward Serge Ngoma.

The New Jersey native's new deal covers the 2025-27 MLS seasons and includes an option for 2028.

Ngoma made his Red Bulls debut in 2022 and has contributed two goals in 10 MLS matches (one start).

"Serge (Ngoma) has had to go through some very difficult times during the last two years, but he never lost his positive attitude," NYRB head of sport Jochen Schneider said. "His work ethic is exceptional, and we are excited to give him this new opportunity."

In a 2-1 win against Atlanta United on June 30, 2022, Ngoma became the third-youngest player in MLS history to score a match-winner in the 85th minute or later.

"Serge has proven to be a great player on the field and a great human being off the field," Red Bulls coach Sandro Schwarz said. "We are excited to keep Serge at the club and to continue to help in his development for years to come."
