Murana has signed a contract until the end of the 2023 season, with club options for 2024 and 2025.

A fullback by trade, he joined the Houston Dynamo academy in 2012 and spent three years at Saint Louis University, where he was twice named to the All-Atlantic 10 team.
Murana is the club's 15th academy product to earn a homegrown deal with the first team.
