FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution have re-signed American defender DeJuan Jones to a new four-year contract through the 2027 Major League Soccer season. The United States international, who is currently in January Camp with the United States Men’s National Team, is set to begin his sixth MLS season with the Revolution in 2024.

“DeJuan Jones has emerged into one of Major League Soccer’s better outside backs during his five seasons with our club,” Revolution Sporting Director Curt Onalfo said. “DeJuan is a tremendous talent, a respected teammate, and a pillar in the local community, all of which make him an important part of our team moving forward. We are thrilled to have DeJuan in a Revolution uniform for years to come.”

Jones, 26, was selected by the Revolution with the 11th-overall pick in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft and has established himself as one of the most dynamic outside defenders in MLS.

I look forward to working with DeJuan when he joins us during preseason in Florida next week.”

“I am delighted to announce my decision to extend my journey with the Revolution.

I’ve given my all to this club for the past five years and I’m eager to contribute to more success as we work towards our ultimate goal of winning an MLS Cup.”

Across five seasons with New England, Jones has amassed 125 league appearances and 111 starts, with six goals and 20 assists.
