New England Revolution Academy product Mitch Taintor is set to participate in the MLS Player Combine, which will take place in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. from Jan. 7-12.
Taintor spent four years at Rutgers University and earned Second Team All-Big Ten honors as a senior. In 71 appearances, Taintor offered 13 goals and six assists. The Storrs, Ct. native is capable of playing along the back line as well as in the midfield.
Taintor is eligible to be a Homegrown signing for the Revolution, but hasn't received a contract offer. A similar situation arose last year with Fabio Machado (Providence), who went undrafted.
