Revolution defender Chris Tierney retires
Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY SportsNew England Revolution stalwart Chris Tierney is hanging up his boots after 11 seasons.
Tierney, 32, announced his retirement on Thursday during a press conference held at Gillette Stadium. The left back ended his career playing for the same club that drafted him with the 13th overall pick in the 2008 Supplemental Draft.
After being used sparingly in his first two seasons, Tierney became a regular contributor in 2010. Under the guidance of head coach Stevie Nicol, the Massachusetts native started as a left back, right back, left midfielder, center defensive midfielder, and center attacking midfielder.
