Financial details of the extension were not released, but White made US$754,500 in 2024.

The 29-year-old forward from Flemington, N.J., tallied 16 goals and three assists across all competitions last season B次元官网网址� and hit some major milestones in the process.

He became the franchiseB次元官网网址檚 all-time leading scorer in the Major League Soccer era with 55 goals across all competitions and became the first Whitecaps player to record back-to-back 15-goal seasons in league play.

Vancouver acquired the five-foot-11, 185-pound Duke University alum from the New York Red Bulls via a trade back in June 2021.
