Former Germany international Bastian Schweinsteiger is returning to the Chicago Fire in 2018, the MLS club announced.
Schweinsteiger, 33, joined Chicago in March last year after a stint at Manchester United.
The midfielder played 26 games for the Fire, which finished third in the Eastern Conference before losing in the first round of the play-offs.
Schweinsteiger is heading back to Chicago for another campaign, it was announced on Wednesday.
"I am very happy to re-sign with the Chicago Fire, and to continue what we started in 2017," he said.
"Last year was a special moment for my career, but it felt incomplete without a trophy. But I am sure we can create another memorable season with the support of our great fans.
"I love this city, this sport, and winning, so I look forward to another season with the Fire as we progress to hopefully another level of success."
