The Vancouver Whitecaps signed veteran striker Brian White to a contract extension through 2027 on Wednesday.

White, 29, has scored a franchise-record 55 goals across all competitions since joining the club in June 2021.

'Brian represents exactly the type of player that defines the identity of the team that we have been building over the past several years,' said Whitecaps sporting director Axel Schuster.

'He is both relentless and humble in his pursuit of excellence, working as hard as any player you will find, and he is always finding ways to improve himself. His numbers, which are impressive in their own right, only begin to tell the story of what Brian has brought to our club. We are thrilled to have him committed as we continue to push towards our collective goals.'

White has 61 goals and 17 assists in 163 MLS matches (133 starts) with the New York Red Bulls (2018-21) and the Whitecaps.

'Vancouver has become a second home, and it's special to be a part of this club and this community,' White said.

'The fans have always voiced their support not only for myself but the entire team, and that motivates us to always strive higher. We'll continue to push to make history together. I will continue giving everything I can to bring success to Vancouver.'
