Austin FC announced today that the Club agreed to a contract extension with defender Jon Gallagher. Gallagher’s new contract is guaranteed through the 2027-28 season with an option for 2028-29.
“Having been with this Club through our first five seasons on the pitch, I feel a unique connection to the fanbase and community here,” said Gallagher. “I love this Club and city and want to continue working hard on what we’ve built.”
Austin FC acquired Gallagher via a trade in December 2020, and he has since gone on to make the most appearances of any outfield player in the Club’s history with 179. His 14 goals across all competitions rank third-most all-time among Austin FC players, and include the first MLS goal ever scored at Q2 Stadium in Austin’s 4-1 win over Portland on July 1, 2021. He earned an MLS All-Star selection in 2023, the second player in Club history to achieve that feat.
