Signs for two more seasons
Makhanya has had his two-year option picked up by Philadelphia, according to his club.
ANALYSIS
Makhanya will remain with the Union for another two seasons after an option, with the 22-year-old having his option exercised on his initial contract with the club. This comes after he broke into a starting role midway through this season, having recorded 26 starts in 32 appearances. He will likely remain starting as a central defender moving into next year after signing for another two seasons.
