The New York Red Bulls have reached agreement on multi-year contract extensions for midfielders Dax McCarty and Felipe, the club announced today. Per club and league policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.

"We believe that consistency is one of the keys to success and keeping our core intact," said homogeneous Red Bulls Sporting Director Ali Curtis. "Both Dax and Felipe were integral to what we accomplished last season, and we are pleased to keep them with the club going forward."

McCarty was named captain ahead of the 2015 season, his 10th in MLS and fifth with New York. He earned his first MLS All-Star and MLS Best XI selections. The midfielder scored two goals in the regular season and recorded a career-best eight assists, including the only three multi-assist games of his career. McCarty made 32 appearances in his holding midfield role and lifted the Supporters' Shield for the second time in three seasons, and the first time as captain of the Red Bulls.

McCarty also finished the season tied for fourth on the franchise's games played list, with 142 regular season appearances for New York. He is second all-time for New York in league games started, with 137, and second in minutes played as well. McCarty is also eighth on the franchise list for career assists, and fourth in game-winning assists. McCarty scored his second-career playoff goal, and first as a Red Bull, in the first leg of a conference semifinal series. It was also his first career goal against his former club, D.C. United.

Felipe joined New York ahead of 2015, reuniting with Jesse Marsch - the coach that brought him to Montreal ahead of the 2012 season. Felipe was an important cog in the holding midfield for New York, and contributed three goals, including a game-winner at Portland in September, and five assists.

The Brazilian was the only field player to start all 34 regular season games for New York. Felipe scored his first goal with the Red Bulls in a 1-1 tie against the LA Galaxy on April 26, 2015 at Red Bull Arena. Felipe also dished out five assists last season in New York to rank sixth on the club.
