New England Revolution sporting director Curt Onalfo on Thursday tendered dynamic left back DeJuan Jones a four-year extension that will cover them through the 2027 season.

Jones, who is attending the U.S. National Team’s January camp, has been an indispensable mainstay at his position since being selected in the first round (11th overall) out of Michigan State in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft.

“DeJuan is the ideal profile in our game model and I am very pleased he will remain a key part of our team for the foreseeable future,” said first-year head coach Caleb Porter. “His elite athleticism and range to play box to box as an attacking threat and one-versus-one defender make him a valuable asset on our team.”

Jones has made 125 appearances and 111 starts with eight postseason starts in his five seasons in New England. Jones is an offensive-minded back who has amassed six goals and 20 assists. Jones had to up his offensive game over the final three months of the 2023 season when right back Brandon Bye suffered a torn ACL on Aug. 3.

“I am delighted to announce my decision to extend my journey with the Revolution,” said Jones. “I have given my all for this club for the past five seasons and I am eager to contribute more success as we work towards our ultimate goal of winning the MLS Cup.”
