FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Kei Kamara didn’t expect 2016 to unfold the way it did.
After tying for the league lead in goals (22), finishing second in MVP voting, and guiding Columbus Crew SC to an MLS Cup final appearance in 2015, Kamara saw his future in Ohio. He believed that he would be a pillar of the organization for years to come, and he never imagined wearing another jersey.
But as evidenced time and again, life can be pretty unpredictable, and Kamara’s time in Columbus came to an abrupt end on May 12 when he was traded to the New England Revolution.
