The Colorado Rapids announced the signing of French midfielder Youssef Maziz on Friday.
Maziz, 28, is signed through 2027-28 with an option for 2028-29 and will occupy an international roster slot.
He spent the past three seasons with Belgian first-division side OH Leuven, logging 15 goals and 16 assists in 114 appearances across all competitions.
'Youssef is a player who brings creativity and football intelligence that we believe will have a real impact on our attack,' Rapids president Padraig Smith said. 'He has the vision and technical quality to unlock opposition defenses, create chances for those around him, and elevate the players alongside him.'Maziz previously played for FC Metz, tallying nine goals and seven assists in 50 appearances from 2017-23 and helping the club earn promotion to Ligue 1 in 2022-23.
'Youssef is the exact type of character we have been looking to bring to the club. He has fantastic experience playing in high level games and will be a great addition to our young midfield group,' Rapids coach Matt Wells said. 'He is a very creative player; always looking to make and score goals but, crucially, he combines this with high intensity pressing out of possession.'
