New York City FC captain Thiago Martins and midfielder Keaton Parks will leave when their contracts expire at the end of the year, the club said Thursday as it announced its 2027 roster decisions.

Parks made 228 appearances in eight seasons, second most in club history, and helped New York win the 2021 MLS Cup. Martins, a 2024 MLS All-Star, made 174 appearances over five seasons. Defender Matt Miazga is also out of contract, and the club remains in talks with midfielder Maxi Moralez about his future. New York finished 11th in the Eastern Conference and parted ways with coach Pascal Jansen after missing the playoffs.
