Minnesota United is bringing back captain and defensive midfielder Wil Trapp in 2024.

The Loons signed him to a new one-year contract on Thursday with a club option for 2025, after their end-of-season roster moves left him out of contract while the two sides negotiated a new deal.

The 30-year-old has played 98 games in all competitions since the club signed him as a free agent in January 2021.
