When Gershon Koffie joined the Revolution ahead of the 2016 season, most supporters expected him to go “one-and-done” and move to Europe over the winter. So when Koffie signed with Hammarby IF of Sweden’s Allsvenskan in January, almost no one batted an eye.
But now he’s back. On loan from Hammarby though the end of the season, Koffie will join a team that already boasts a pair of defensive midfielders in Scott Caldwell and Xavier Kouassi, as well as three attacking midfielders—Lee Nguyen, Diego Fagundez and Kelyn Rowe—who have all played well enough to earn consistent starts.
