THE BIGGER PICTURE
Charlotte already boast reigning MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Kristijan Kahlina, who is under contract through 2026 with a club option for 2027. Still, the team saw the move as a chance to further bolster its depth in net. However, it leaves Callender in a similar position to where he was in Miami – fighting for minutes.
