Columbus Crew 2 is on a roll early into the 2022 MLS NEXT Pro season. After losing in the team’s season opener 2-0 against CF Inter Miami II, Columbus’ developmental side has won four straight games, allowing one goal in four matches while scoring six of the team’s own.
On Thursday, the Black & Gold solidified the contract of a player who they hope will make that goal differential even more one-sided. The Crew announced that Academy forward Zion Scarlett’s spot on the team after signing a professional contract.
Scarlett initially joined Crew 2 on a season-long amateur loan.
