Sporting Kansas City announced today that goalkeeper Tim Melia has signed a contract extension with the club through 2022.
Since joining the club ahead of the 2015 season, Melia has led Sporting to four playoff appearances and two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles as one of the premier goalkeepers in Major League Soccer. Over the last five regular seasons, Melia leads MLS with 10 saved penalty kicks—four more than any other player—while ranking third in shutouts (45), third in wins (62), fourth in saves (456) and fifth in save percentage (71.5%).
“I could not be more excited to extend my contract with a club that has given me so much,” Melia said.
