COMMERCE CITY — The Colorado Rapids have taken another clear step toward reshaping their future, announcing the signing of winger Dante Sealy from CF Montréal. At 22 years old, Sealy arrives as one of the most promising young attackers in MLS, and his move signals that Colorado is serious about building a team that can grow and compete over the next several seasons.
Sealy is coming off the best year of his career. In 2025, he scored nine goals in 30 MLS matches for Montréal, finishing the season in strong form with six goals in his final nine games. On a team that struggled to find consistency, he stood out as one of their most dangerous attacking players, which is why several MLS clubs were tracking him before Colorado moved quickly to secure the deal.
What Sealy brings is something the Rapids have been missing for too long: speed, directness, and the ability to beat defenders one-on-one. He is comfortable on either wing but is especially dangerous when cutting inside from the left, where his pace and quick feet allow him to attack the goal or create space for teammates. More importantly, he already has real MLS production at an age when most players are still trying to find their footing in the league.
This signing also fits the bigger picture of what Colorado is trying to build. With new head coach Matt Wells and a clear focus on younger, more athletic players, the Rapids are shifting toward a modern, high-tempo style that relies on movement, pressing, and fast attacks. Sealy’s profile matches that approach almost perfectly. He runs at defenders, stretches the field, and plays with the urgency that today’s MLS demands.
For Sealy, this move is also a chance to reset and take the next step. After time with FC Dallas, a stint in the Netherlands with Jong PSV, and his breakout in Montréal, he now joins a Colorado team where he has a real opportunity to become a core attacking piece. Alongside players like Rafael Navarro and Calvin Harris, he gives the Rapids more speed, more options, and more competition in the final third.
The Rapids are not just adding another winger. They are investing in a player who can grow with the club and help define what this next version of Colorado soccer looks like. If Sealy’s upward trajectory continues in Commerce City, this could end up being one of the most important moves of the Rapids rebuild.
