Wise beyond his years, Zack Steffen is a stud between the posts for Columbus Crew SC
On the way to the 2017 MLS Cup playoffs, Columbus Crew SC has used a lot of new faces in its lineup compared to the prior year’s team. However, it looks like one of the new starters has been there forever as goalkeeper Zack Steffen quickly became a staple between the posts and one of the key players in the Black & Gold’s campaign.
Signed by the club in July 2016 after playing in Germany for two and half seasons, Steffen had to wait a year to see MLS action for the first time. But he made up for that rather quickly.
The 22-year-old shot stopper leads Crew SC in usage this season, the only player on the roster to be on the field in each of the season’s 2,880 minutes so far.
