For Kip Colvey, this may feel a bit familiar.
The 23-year-old New Zealand international on Wednesday was selected by the Colorado Rapids with the third overall pick in the 2017 MLS Waiver Draft, reuniting with his former national team coach and now-Rapids coach Anthony Hudson.
The 5-foot-10, 162-pound wingback was born in Hawaii, but has 15 caps for the All Whites, including both games of the Intercontinental Playoff series against Peru last month. He also played for New Zealand’s U-17 and U-23 teams.
Colvey, who the Rapids said can play on both sides of the field, originally signed with the San Jose Earthquakes in 2016 after being picked No.
