On Friday, the Columbus Crew made a second signing from within the team’s own building. Crew 2 midfielder Mohamed Farsi, of the MLS NEXT Pro development league, signed a contract with the Black & Gold’s senior team, the club announced.
Farsi was an early signing for Crew 2, announcing his move to Columbus on March 18 from the Canadian Premier League. With Cavalry FC, Farsi made 38 appearances in two seasons and received the CPL’s Best U-21 Player of the Year Award. Canada wasn’t his first stint playing professionally either as Farsi spent time in Algeria with AS Ain M’Lila prior to playing in two of North America’s professional leagues.
