FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution added a fresh face to their goalkeeper corps on Thursday morning, announcing the signing of former U.S. Under-23 shot-stopper Cody Cropper.
Cropper, who featured in Olympic qualifying for the U.S. this past March, had previously spent his entire professional career in England. He rose through the academy system at Ipswich Town before signing with Southampton in 2012, then joined MK Dons upon their promotion to the Championship in 2015.
Head coach Jay Heaps revealed on Thursday that the Revolution had been tracking Cropper’s progress for an extended period, and had even spoken with the goalkeeper about a potential move last year.
