The Colorado Rapids signed midfielder Sam Bassett to a one-year homegrown contract on Tuesday.

The deal includes club options for 2026, 2027 and 2028 for the 21-year-old from Littleton, Colo.

He is the younger brother of Rapids midfielder Cole Bassett, making them the first homegrown siblings in team history.

“We are thrilled to add Sam to our team and look forward to working with him,” said Rapids coach Chris Armas. “He is a talented, box-to-box midfielder who has so many of the qualities we look for, including his competitive edge and final third quality. Sam will also be a great fit for our team-first culture, something we value greatly.”

Sam Bassett starred at the University of Denver, recording 24 goals and 26 assists in 77 matches (63 starts) over four seasons (2021-24).
