FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution announced today that the club has completed the signing of forward Timi Mulgrew. A native of Sterling, Virginia, Mulgrew joins the Revs after being on trial with the club throughout the preseason, appearing in all six games that the Revs played and tallying one assist. Per club and league policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"We are thrilled and so happy for Timi to realize one of his goals and dreams, and that is to become a professional player in MLS,” commented George Mason head coach Greg Andrulis. “A sincere thanks to the Revolution coaching staff Jay Heaps, Tommy Sohn and Remy Roy for taking a chance on Timi and providing him with such an incredible opportunity. The New England Revolution have been first class in every way possible and we are grateful to Mike Burns the Revolution General Manager and his staff for that.”
“Timi had a remarkable career for George Mason. He set high standards for himself, his teammates and coaching staff,” continued Andrulis. “The hard work and dedication that Timi put into his development is a key to his being a professional athlete today. Talent, drive, commitment and persistence, are the adjectives that best describe this remarkable young man. He brought a positive attitude and a great work ethic to the field every day. We wish him and his family the very best as a new chapter in his life has begun. "
Mulgrew played four years of college soccer at George Mason University, scoring 26 goals and adding 12 assists in 74 games for the Patriots. He scored a career-best 13 goals as a senior in 2014, including seven game-winning goals, which were tied for the most in NCAA Division I at the end of the regular season. A First Team All-Atlantic 10 selection as a senior after leading the conference in scoring, Mulgrew helped lead the Patriots win the A-10 Tournament and reach the second round of the NCAA Tournament during his junior season in 2013. That finish matched George Mason's best postseason finish since 1982.
Prior to arriving at George Mason, Mulgrew spent 14 years playing club soccer for Great Falls Soccer Club in Great Falls, Va.
