The New England Revolution have signed midfielder Damian Rivera, making him the seventh Homegrown Player in club history. The 16-year-old will be the youngest player on the current roster.
“Of the many talented players we’ve observed in the Revolution Academy system, Damian was among the first who distinguished himself as a player with the tools needed to succeed at the professional level,” Sporting Director and Head Coach Bruce Arena said. “We look forward to seeing him continue to develop and grow with the Revolution.”
Rivera amassed 90 appearances while playing with the Revolution Academy at the U-14, U-16, U-17, and U-19 levels.
