The rumors that were circulating for weeks were finally confirmed and Chris Cadden is no longer a Columbus Crew player. The Scottish defender returned to his home country to play for Hibernian FC after just one season in Major League Soccer and his departure opens up a spot in the roster the Black & Gold will have to fill prior to the start of the 2021 season.
Columbus’ starting right back spot has, for the most part of the last season, belonged to Harrison Afful, who for the entirety of that time has had the reliable cover of Hector Jimenez, who won’t return in 2021 as well after he signed with expansion franchise Austin FC.
