From this week's Flying Kiwis. Boxall resigned re-signed by Minnesota.
"But that point about where they came from is huge. This is a team that made enormous strides between its first two seasons and this one, and of course as mentioned last week they’ve moved quick to set up for 2020 success as well – re-signing 2019 MLS Defender of the Year Ike Opara and his old mate Michael Boxall both to multi-year contracts. No official word on the specifics there but fantastic to see one of these kiwi MLS dudes with their long-term future nice and settled, that doesn’t happen as often as it would be preferred. Also great to see Boxall being rewarded fullstop since all the dudes around him are raking it up while he just sorta slides under the radar. Keeper Vito Mannone was also named as Goalkeeper of the Year for the MLS."
Twin Cities Pioneer Press: “The Loons agreed to guaranteed multi-year contracts with center back duo Ike Opara and Michael Boxall earlier this summer, a source confirmed Monday. The pair helped solidify a defense that allowed 43 goals this season, fifth-best in MLS. Opara was named MLS defender of the year last week, and Boxall has become United’s all-time minutes leader at 6,627 since he joined the club in summer 2017. Each player will be 31 years when the 2020 season starts next spring.”
