Source: Captain Michael Bradley signs deal to stay with Toronto FC

TORONTO — Captain Michael Bradley has re-signed with Toronto FC.

A source, speaking on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been announced, confirmed that the 32-year-old midfielder has agreed on a new contract.

The MLS club has scheduled a “major announcement” for Thursday.

The new deal involved targeted allocation money, meaning Bradley will give up his designated player status and take a paycut from the US$6.5 million he earned this season. That opens the way to the club fulfilling its off-season goal to add to its offence.

Bradley’s $39-million, six-year contract expires at the end of the year.
