Charlotte FC sign goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina to new contract

TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Extension

This season, the Croatian shot-stopper has a league-leading 10 shutouts and is fourth in MLS in saves (113). He holds the second-longest shutout streak of the year at 524 minutes.

“Kristijan has been exceptional since he joined the club ahead of our inaugural season and has since established himself as one of the elite goalkeepers in Major League Soccer,” sporting director Zoran Krneta said in a release.

“He is a fierce competitor who wants to push for trophies and has proven time and time again that he can be a match-winner in net. Kristijan is another defensive piece that we have extended for multiple seasons, and we’re delighted for him to continue his career in Charlotte as we continue to build a club aimed towards winning MLS Cup.”
