## Resource

NYCFC just extended Kevin OToole’s stay through 2029 with an option for 2030—he’s been a rock since joining in 2022, logging over 100 appearances, scoring twice, dishing four assists, and helping the team reach the playoffs three times. The 27-year-old left back, who represents Ireland internationally (first called up in 2025), says the new contract reflects the club’s faith in him and his commitment to team success. After the World Cup break, NYCFC kicks off July 22 against Columbus Crew—stream it live on Apple TV at 7:30 PM ET.
