On Monday the New England Revolution made their first splash of the offseason. Bruce Arena and co. have brought in 27-year-old defender Christian Mafla.
Mafla hails from Columbia where he has played in the Categoría Primera A for the last five seasons. His most recent stint came with Atlético Nacional where he played in 78 games. After playing in a career-high 30 league games for Nacional in 2019, Mafla only appeared in 11 games in 2020.
Still, Mafla has lifted some hardware in his career with Nacional. In 2018 he helped lead the club to its fourth Copa Colombia championship.
