Sporting Kansas City signed left back Zorhan Bassong to a contract extension on Monday.

The 26-year-old Canadian defender's new deal runs through 2028-29 with options through 2030-31.

"We are delighted that Zorhan has made the decision to commit his future to the club and sign a long-term extension," Sporting KC general manager David Lee said.

"He is an experienced and high-performing player and we believe he is yet to reach his full potential. He has all the attributes we look for in an outside back and is also able to cover multiple positions around the field, while his personality, mentality and presence in the locker room makes him a valuable member of our leadership group."

Bassong has one goal and four assists in 51 appearances since joining SKC ahead of the 2024 season. He played for CF Montreal from 2021-22 in addition to professional stints in Romania, Belgium and France.
