Toronto FC has locked up an important part of its defence, signing fullback Justin Morrow to a multi-year extension.
The 30-year-old, currently in his fifth season with Toronto, was named to Major League Soccer’s Best XI for the 2017 season after helping the Reds win the MLS Cup, MLS Supporters’ Shield and the Canadian Championship.
Morrow scored a career-high eight goals in league play last season, including the first hat-trick of his career on Sept. 30 in a 4-2 win over the New York Red Bulls at BMO Field that clinched the Supporters’ Shield, awarded to the MLS team with the best regular-season record.
