Sporting Kansas City announced Wednesday that the club has signed defender Ike Opara to a new contract through 2017 with team options for 2018 and 2019.
Opara, 27, has recorded seven goals and three assists in 64 appearances across all competitions since joining Sporting Kansas City ahead of the 2013 campaign.
"We are very happy to be able to re-sign Ike to our club," Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes said. "We think he is a first-class individual and he has so much upside as a central defender. He showed a lot of consistency this past year and we hope that continues for years to come.
