When the 22-year-old Colombian’s new contract takes effect next year, he will no longer be a member of the U22 Initiative.
“We’re excited to secure Kerwin’s long-term future with Charlotte FC and sign him to a new contract that will begin in 2025,” general manager Zoran Krneta said in a release. “Since signing with us as a 20-year-old, Kerwin has earned his place as a valuable member of our attack and received his first call-up to the Colombia youth national team.
“This new contract is a milestone for the club as he becomes our first U22 Initiative player to re-sign with us and demonstrates our commitment to developing and rewarding young international players through this roster mechanism.”
Vargas, who came to Charlotte from CD Feirense in May 2022, has six goals and six assists in 52 games throughout the regular season. He and Patrick Agyemang, the team’s top scorer, are tied with two goals each in 2024. Enzo Copetti and Liel Abada, two designated players, complete the team’s offensive line.
“I am really happy to be staying with Charlotte FC,” said Vargas. “I think it’s a great organization and club to be with, and I am extremely happy to be here and for what’s to come.”
