DETROIT – Detroit City FC announced on Thursday it had signed goalkeeper Carlos Saldaña to a contract extension, keeping him in Rouge and Gold through the 2026 USL Championship season.

Saldaña has made 19 appearances for Le Rouge since joining the club ahead of the 2024 season. In the 2025 campaign, Saldaña has made four starts in goal for Detroit City FC, boasting a record of 3-1-0 when getting the start, making seven saves, and keeping one clean sheet.

In 2024, the 28-year-old debuted for Detroit City FC against the Michigan Stars in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, where he kept a clean sheet in his first match for the club. Saldaña truly introduced himself to the Detroit City FC faithful on the road to the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer in the Open Cup, where he won the penalty shootout for Detroit City by making a save and scoring the final penalty kick to see Le Rouge advance past the defending champions.

Before joining the club, Saldaña spent two seasons at fellow USL Championship club Sacramento Republic FC and worked with current Detroit City FC Head Coach Danny Dichio, who also joined Le Rouge from Republic FC.
