CASA GRANDE, Ariz. – Chris Tierney is just as excited for his 10th season as he was for his first.
“When that excitement and anticipation goes away, that’s when I’ll know it’s time for me to hang them up,” said Tierney, in the midst of his ninth preseason camp (he signed after camp in 2008). “It’s still there.”
By the time all is said and done – and there’s no end in sight – Tierney will have firmly cemented himself in the New England Revolution record books. He’s already fourth on the club’s all-time appearances list (214), and could leapfrog head coach Jay Heaps into third with 30 more appearances this year.
