TUCSON, Ariz. – Diego Fagundez is all grown up.
It’s a bit unusual for someone to celebrate their 21st birthday while preparing to enter their sixth season as a professional athlete, but not much Fagundez does is typical. The first Homegrown player in New England Revolution history hit that milestone birthday on Sunday – Valentine’s Day – as the Revs made their way from Foxborough to Tucson.
The past six years have been quite a journey for Fagundez, who signed with the Revs in November 2010. There’ve been a few lulls, of course, but they’ve been punctuated by tremendous highs.
