When Richmond Kickers coach Leigh Cowlishaw first saw New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Turner, a few things immediately stood out.
Turner, he said, had athleticism, good movement in the box, and an infectious energy.
”He’s the real deal,” he said.
But what Cowlishaw really liked about him is he was eager to get game experience after being loaned out to the United Soccer League Kickers in the second division from the top flight Revolution.
Rather than being disappointed about being away from the big league club, he had a good attitude about the situation.
