Toronto FC has signed defender Justin Morrow to a multi-year extension, the club announced on Wednesday.

Morrow is in his fifth season with Toronto FC and was named to the MLS Best XI last year, helping lead the club to its first ever MLS Cup championship.

"Justin is one of the players who has led our turnaround as a club over the last few seasons," said Toronto FC GM Tim Bezbatchenko in a release.  " He has established himself as one of the best left backs in Major League Soccer."

"He has played such an important part in what we have accomplished as a club and will continue to as we compete for more championships."

The 30-year-old has made 147 appearances across all competitions for TFC.

He has 17 goals and 18 assists across his entire 207 game MLS career, which has been spent with Toronto as well as the San Jose Earthquakes.
