FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Claude Dielna showed up on the New England Revolution’s radar sometime in June, and the technical staff liked what they saw from the veteran center back on film; strong in the air, a good communicator and a deadly left foot.
But the Revs also place a big emphasis on locker room culture, so when Dielna visited their Foxborough training facilities on Wednesday and Thursday, it was primarily to see if the player was a fit for the club, and if the club was a fit for the player.
“There’s a good personality within our group,” said head coach Jay Heaps.
