New England has only signed three Homegrown Players, placing a preference on pragmatism and effectiveness.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – For New England Revolution fans hoping the club’s next local starlet is around the corner, patience is key. At least that’s the message General Manager Mike Burns and Academy Director Byran Scales recently conveyed in exclusive interviews with The Bent Musket.
Addressing the proverbial question in American soccer of who the next Homegrown signing is, Burns and Scales explained at great length just how extensive the Revs Academy system is. About to enter its ninth season, the program is completely free and funded by a seven-figures investment from the club’s ownership group, eradicating socioeconomic hurdles facing players of all backgrounds.
