LOUISVILLE. Ky. – Louisville City FC announced on Friday it had agreed a new multi-year contract with midfielder Taylor Davila, keeping the 2024 USL Championship Player of the Year finalist and All-League First Team midfielder in purple. The transaction is pending league and federation approval.

Davila played a key role as LouCity won the USL Championship Players' Shield for the first time in the 2024 regular season. Louisville tied the USL Championship record with 24 regular season wins as Davila scored seven goals, tallied six assists and ranked second in the league with 75 chances created.

“We are proud to be able to extend Taylor here at Louisville City,” said LouCity Head Coach Danny Cruz. “He played an integral role in the success of the group this season and never took a day of work for granted. He is a joy to be around, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him grow this year. I know how hungry Davi will be to come back in 2025 and am looking forward to watching him push toward making our group even better.”

The 24-year-old’s All-League First Team selection was his second in as many seasons. Davila had previously earned the honor competing for Rio Grande Valley FC in 2023 before joining LouCity last offseason. The Sherman Oaks, Calif. native came up through Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy's youth system and played collegiately at the University of California, where he was an All-Pac-12 First Teamer.

Davila started 32 of 34 regular season games for City in 2024.

“I loved every moment of last year competing at Lynn Family Stadium in front of so many amazing fans,” said Davila. “I’m grateful to be back with a group that's ambitious and hardworking. We are all striving for one thing: to win a championship.”

Davila's contract makes him the 19th returning player announced from last season's LouCity roster that set club records for goals scored (86) and points earned (76). Among Davila's teammates is his younger brother, Evan, who just completed his rookie year.
