Reggie Cannon became the latest MLS homegrown to embark back to the United States.
The Colorado Rapids signed Cannon to a three-and-a-half-year contract through the 2027 season, with a club option for an additional year. Cannon mutually parted ways with English Football League Championship side QPR earlier this month, ending a one-year stay in London.
The 26-year-old Cannon made 21 appearances for QPR, helping them secure five clean sheets.
Prior to his move to England, Cannon spent three seasons with Portuguese club Boavista, logging 89 appearances. He left the club in the Summer of 2023 due to reported unpaid wages.
“We are thrilled to add a player of Reggie’s caliber to our group,” said Colorado Rapids President Pádraig Smith. “Reggie is a player with fantastic experience, having competed at the highest levels domestically and internationally. His athleticism, defensive qualities and tactical awareness strengthens our backline while his versatility provides additional flexibility in our lineup. We’re excited to have him contribute to the success of the team and help us continue building a MLS Cup contending squad.”
Cannon broke onto the scene with FC Dallas, playing for the MLS side from 2017-20.
On the international level, Cannon has earned 28 caps with the U.S. men’s national team but hasn’t featured since 2022.
He becomes the latest USMNT player to make the move to Colorado, joining Djordje Mihailovic, Zack Steffen, and Sam Vines, all who joined within the last year.
