The Colorado Rapids signed midfielder Connor Ronan from the Premier League’s Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The four-year deal announced Monday for the 24-year-old Irishman includes a club option for 2027.
“Connor is a highly technical and versatile midfielder who can play in both deep-lying and box-to-box midfield roles,” Rapids general manager Padraig Smith said. “He brings a high level of energy and ability to cover a lot of ground defensively, but also exceptional vision and passing qualities. We’re excited to add a player of his talent to our roster and look forward to welcoming him to Colorado.”
