Crew SC announced Thursday that they were waiving Amro Tarek. The 23 year old Egyptian featured just once for the Black and Gold, appearing as a late sub against NYCFC. He was signed on a season long loan from Real Betis in February. He was considered a low-risk addition to the depth in defense, as Crew SC didn't pay a loan fee or any of his salary, as Betis came to Columbus with the offer.
Citing "strong, veteran defensive depth" keeping Tarek from the field, Crew SC elected to release Tarek early enough in the season to land elsewhere.
