The Colorado Rapids signed goalkeeper Nico Hansen to a new contract Thursday that runs through the 2027-28 season.
The deal includes options for the 2028-29 and 2029-30 campaigns for the 24-year-old Hansen, who made his MLS debut in 2025.
'We're very pleased to secure Nico on a new long-term contract,' Rapids sporting director Fran Taylor said. 'He showed real reliability when opportunities came his way last season, and just as importantly, he's impressed us with his mentality, work ethic, and approach within the group. We have the utmost confidence in him, and we're looking forward to having him within our group for years to come.'
Filling in for injured starter Zack Steffen, Hansen made 10 appearances during the 2025 regular season and recorded three clean sheets and 38 saves.
The Rapids open the 2026 MLS season on the road against the Seattle Sounders on Feb. 22.
