Toronto FC nailed down a key part of its defence Thursday, signing centre back Chris Mavinga to a contract extension.
The 28-year-old Mavinga and U.S. international Omar Gonzalez have become the first-choice centre-back pairing for TFC. They represent the heart of the Toronto defence, a marquee pairing with a price to match.
"We are excited that Chris chose to extend his contract, and that he will be with the organization moving forward." Mavinga's soccer journey took him from France to England, Belgium and Russia before finding a home in Canada. After manager Rafa Benitez left Liverpool, he was loaned to Belgium's Genk and found himself making headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2011 in a title-deciding game in the season finale.
