Sporting Kansas City midfielder Graham Zusi has signed a new contract with the club, it was announced on Wednesday, although terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The 25-year-old Zusi is coming off of a breakout campaign that saw him net five goals with nine assists in 35 appearances last term.

"I am thrilled to stay with Sporting Kansas City," Zusi said. "The culture, fans, atmosphere and organization are top-notch and our objectives are the same, to win championships. I know we will all work hard on and off the field and commit ourselves to reach our goals."

Zusi's fine form for Sporting also led to the midfielder receiving his first two caps for the U.S. national team, which included Zusi scoring the lone goal in a 1-0 defeat of Panama.
