Minnesota United announced today that the club has signed veteran midfielder Wil Trapp to a new, one-year contract for 2025, with a club option for 2026.

“I am delighted to be a part of the continued growth and success of this club for the next couple seasons,” said midfielder Wil Trapp. “My family and I are humbled by and grateful to the supporters, the coaching staff, front office, and my teammates for making us feel at home here in Minnesota. We look forward to building on last season and bringing tangible success and trophies to Allianz Field.”

Notably, he appeared in both the 2013 Concacaf U20 Championship and the 2013 U20 FIFA World Cup.
