Orlando City signed midfielder Wilder Cartagena to a new contract Wednesday through 2026 with an option for 2027.

The 31-year-old from Peru has three goals and three assists in 80 matches across all competitions since joining the club in 2022.

'Wilder is one of those players who brings so much more than just his performance on the pitch,' said general manager and sporting director Ricardo Moreira. 'He's a true leader in our locker room; someone our players look to both in moments of intensity and in everyday preparation. His experience at the international level and his commitment to excellence make everyone around him better.'

Cartagena missed the entire 2025 campaign with an Achilles injury sustained during the preseason.

'We're proud to have him back -- he was missed in our 2025 campaign -- and know he'll continue to be a driving force in our pursuit of success and championships,' Moreira said.

Cartagena has earned 40 caps with Peru and competed at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
