Charlotte FC announced that defender Nathan Byrne has signed a new contract with the club, extending his stay through 2026 with an option for 2027.

“I’m delighted to sign a new contract that keeps me at the Club for the next few seasons,” said Byrne. “Charlotte is a place I have really enjoyed my football over the last two years, and there is no place I’d rather continue my career. We have a great group of guys that want to accomplish something special, and that begins now with this run-in to the playoffs.”

The 32-year-old Englishman has been a regular in Charlotte FC’s defense since joining during the summer of their inaugural season. Byrne has made 72 appearances for the club in all competitions, ranking fifth all-time for Charlotte FC.

“Nate has been a core part of our defensive line from the moment he arrived in Charlotte, and we’re excited he has chosen to commit his future to the Club,” said General Manager Zoran Krneta. “He has established himself as one of the best at his position in the league and has been an integral part of our stellar defensive record this season. He is the third member of our defense that we have signed to a long-term deal this season as we continue to set our Club up for sustained success for seasons to come.”

Before joining Charlotte FC from Derby County, Byrne played in 373 league games in England's Championship and League One, scoring 15 goals and providing 44 assists across both divisions.

Transaction: Charlotte FC signs defender Nathan Byrne to a contract until 2026 with an option for 2027.
