The Philadelphia Union extended homegrown defender Nathan Harriel’s contract through the 2025 season.

The deal announced Thursday includes team options for 2026 and 2027 for the 21-year-old right back.

Yet to make an appearance in 2023, Harriel posted one goal and one assist in 30 MLS matches (22 starts) over the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

“Nathan’s commitment to developing his game has impressed us, and we are thrilled he will continue to grow and contribute here in Philadelphia,” sporting director Ernst Tanner said. “His quickness and relentlessness have always been evident, and his decision making has drastically improved.”

In his first full season in 2022, Harriel posted the club’s highest duel percentage (59.7) and was second on the team in tackles (43) as the Union allowed an MLS-low 26 goals.
