Joel Waterman - Inks extension with Montreal Waterman has signed a contract extension with Montreal, according to his club.

Impact Waterman has no intentions of leaving Montreal anytime soon, as he has now inked an extension until 2027, holding an option for the 2028 season. This shouldn't come as a surprise, as he did start in 25 of his 26 appearances this campaign. That said, he should continue as a starter throughout the remainder of his contract.

This is one short of his season-high, registering 14 in match against the Revolution on Sept. 18. The defender ends the season starting in three of his nine appearances, notching one goal on two shots and one assist on three chances created to go along with four tackles, eight clearances and 41 crosses.
