Charlotte FC has locked up one of their rising stars, extending forward Idan Toklomati’s contract through the 2028-29 season with a club option for 2029-30, the Major League Soccer team revealed on Wednesday.
The Israeli international, just 21 years old, made quite an impact during his debut campaign, finding the back of the net 13 times while contributing four assists over 36 matches in all competitions for Charlotte.
“Idan is a top talent that we were able to sign at 19 and has blossomed into one of Major League Soccer’s brightest talents,” stated Charlotte general manager Zoran Krneta.
The promising striker, who fills a U22 Initiative roster position, made his way to Charlotte from Israeli club Maccabi Petah Tikva in 2024.
“He is a player who believed in our development pathway for him, and during his first full season with the first team, he scored double-digit goals,” Krneta explained. “Our aim, as well as Idan’s, is to win trophies for the Carolinas, and this extension is an important piece of our long-term roster-building strategy.”
Charlotte FC is set to kick off their 2026 regular season campaign this Saturday with a road match against St. Louis City SC.
