Back in July there was a lot of buzz about the new Hartford USL team partnering with the New England Revolution as MLS/USL affiliates.
That no longer sees to be the case after both teams confirmed to The Bent Musket that no official agreement is being pursued at this time. A club spokesperson for Hartford Athletic gave TBM the following statement:
“We strive for strong relationships with all the clubs in our region as we look to grow the game and provide the highest level of play for our fans. We do not have a formal affiliation with any MLS club and are not currently pursuing one.
