Beitashour, 34, re-joins through the 2022 MLS season with an option for 2023.
“Steven is one of the most decorated and experienced defenders in our league,” Rapids executive VP & general manager Pádraig Smith said in a release. “His leadership and versatility contributed greatly to our conference-topping season in 2021 and we look forward to welcoming him back for another year in Burgundy.”
The former Iran international has competed in MLS since 2010. He has scored five times and dished out 38 assists across 258 regular-season games (246 starts).
