He
is the second designated player on the roster list in the current Columbus Crew
squad after Federico Higuain.
"I feel really great to sign a contract with Columbus, this is the team when I first started playing my professional career," he told BBC Sport. For them to trust me this much and give me a longer contract and as a designated player this is a true blessing for me.
'I am looking forward to the season to start and I'm looking forward to my future as part of Columbus Crew."
The
Columbus Crew head coach and sporting director Gregg Berhalter confirmed the
news on
the club's website:
"This
is a great success story of a player that has risen through the MLS ranks, and
that rise culminated with one of the best seasons in MLS ever. To me, this is
well-deserved.
We
are proud to be able to offer Kei a contract extension”
While
the terms of this deal were not disclosed, Kei’s previous contract ran until 2017. However, he
had been locked in a contract dispute as he sought a new deal following a
stellar season in which he scored 22 goals, the joint highest in MLS, and
helped Crew SC to an Eastern Conference championship.
