BRADENTON, Fla. – Kelyn Rowe has been “Mr. Versatility” for the New England Revolution in recent years, featuring at every position on the field except for center back and goalkeeper. That designation may be a thing of the past, however, under new head coach Brad Friedel.
Friedel has stated on multiple occasions that Rowe’s strengths are suited for central midfield – either as a playmaking number 10 or in a box-to-box role – and that’s precisely where Rowe has featured in the Revolution’s first two preseason matches against the New York Red Bulls and Malmo FF.
