The New England Revolution signed defender Will Sands to a contract extension through the 2030 season on Tuesday.

Financial terms were not disclosed by the team for Sands, who joined the Revolution during the 2024 summer transfer window.

"We are thrilled to extend Will Sands and keep him in New England for several more seasons," sporting director Curt Onalfo said. "Will has grown tremendously as a player and teammate since joining us two years ago. He is in excellent form right now, and we believe his best years are still ahead."

Sands, 25, has one goal and one assist in 14 matches (all starts) this season with New England.

A 2023 MLS Cup champion with Columbus, Sands has totaled one goal and six assists in 63 career matches (41 starts) with the Crew (2022-24) and Revolution.

"I am happy for Will because he is incredibly deserving of this contract extension, and equally happy for our club that we can keep a talented player and exceptional person like Will in New England for years to come," head coach Marko Mitrovic said. "Coaching Will is a pleasure, and we are looking forward to helping him progress even more on the field in the years ahead."
