DARREN YAPI NEWS

Returning to Colorado Yapi is returning to Colorado after his option was picked up, Colorado announced.

Impact Yapi finally broke out in 2025, scoring eight goals and topping 1,000 minutes for the first time in his career. The forward should continue to get chances in the first team in 2026 and if he can improve he would have the chance to push for double-digit goals.

Scores in season finale Yapi scored a goal off his lone shot during Saturday's 2-2 draw against LAFC.

Impact Yapi was given a chance to start with his team trying to get a playoff spot and was mostly quiet but his only noteworthy contribution was a big one as he headed the ball home to score the goal that gave his team a 2-1 lead that would've put his team in the postseason if retained. With his team ultimately out of contention, the youngster finished a campaign that, despite the ups and downs, can be framed as a breakthrough with eight goals and two assists over 29 appearances (17 starts).
