New York City FC has promoted forward Arnau Farnos to a full first-team contract covering the remainder of the current season, the Major League Soccer club revealed on Saturday.
The agreement includes a club option that could extend Farnos’ tenure through the 2027-28 campaign.
The 23-year-old striker had been working under four separate short-term deals with NYCFC before earning this promotion.
“Arnau has taken advantage of his opportunities with both the first team and New York City FC II and has shown that he belongs,” stated NYCFC sporting director Todd Dunivant. “His soccer IQ has earned the trust of his teammates and the staff, and we are looking forward to his continued progression.”
Farnos entered MLS action for the first time on April 11 in a match against Vancouver Whitecaps FC. He also saw playing time versus FC Cincinnati on April 22, coming off the bench in both appearances.
The forward found the back of the net during NYCFC’s 5-2 victory over Westchester SC in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup competition.
“I’m super thankful for the club and for the staff for giving me the opportunity to be part of this team,” Farnos expressed. “I’m really happy to continue my journey as a professional soccer player and look forward to continuing to develop and help this team achieve its goals this season.”
