2025 New York City FC Player Preview: Keaton Parks
Parks has become a model of consistency, but in 2025 he'll need to adjust to a new-look midfield and a new set of expectations from a new head coach.

The 17-year-old has just 17 appearances for NYCFC II in two seasons: Jacob Arroyave is a midfielder being developed for the future.
We saw some promising play from today's friendly — and some concerning absences.
The 24-year-old made only 12 starts last year despite adding much to the NYCFC attack. Will he see more playing time in Pascal Jansen's midfield?
The 23-year-old made some key starts last year, and is poised to become the everyday No 6 for New York City FC in 2025.
The left-back became the everyday starter in 2024, scoring his first MLS goal and providing two assists. Will he find another gear in 2025?
The 20-year-old finished last season's campaign starting at right-back over Tayvon Gray. Will he get the nod again under Pascal Jansen?
The 7 assists he logged last season were the most for a fullback since Anton Tinnerholm's 8 in 2019.
Even better: Glenn Crooks will call NYCFC's games at the 2025 Coachella Invitational, which will be live-streamed at newyorkcityfc.com and aired on WWOR Channel 9.
The "best left-footed CB in college" is New York City's newest Homegrown. Will the 21-year-old fight his way into Pascal Jansen's Starting XI?
His 10 MLS starts was the most for a backup central defender since style icon Sebastien Ibeagha's 11 in 2019.
The central defender faded last season, and spent the final three games of the 2024 MLS Cup Playoffs on the bench. Will he rediscover his form under Pascal Janesn?
He's a veteran leader of the team and the usual captain on the field, but can Thiago Martins maintain the high levels of performance and durability he enjoyed last season?
The 31-year-old brings limited experience, good vibes to the goalkeeper depth chart.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper is consistently called up to the El Salvador national team despite not seeing any First Team minutes.
The New York City native was in the 99% for saves at NYCFC II but has yet to see any First Team minutes. Will he climb the goalkeeper totem-pole this season?
