COLUMBUS – Columbus Crew have signed Homegrown midfielder Sean Zawadzki to a multi-year contract extension through the 2027 season, the Club announced today. The Crew Academy product and 2023 MLS Cup champion is currently in his third season with the Black & Gold.

His ability to adapt to difference circumstances was a key part of our success in 2023 in winning MLS Cup, and it was a special moment for our Club to see him earn his first senior cap for the U.S. Men’s National Team. This contract extension is a testament to Sean’s talent, hard work, and the impact he has on our team.
