The New England Revolution made a move for the future on Monday as they signed 17-year-old center back Santiago Suarez to a multi-year deal.
Suarez will spend the 2023 season with Revolution II before becoming a member of the first team with a Homegrown Player in 2024. The defender joins the Revolution from the Sacramento Republic FC Academy, where he has been since 2016. The 6-foot-5 center back made six appearances, including four starts, during the 2022 USL Championship season.
“We are excited to welcome Santiago to the New England Revolution as he begins his professional career,” Revolution Technical Director Curt Onalfo said.
