MidfielderReturns for his second go-round with Revolution after a one-year absence in which he was selected by Seattle in the Expansion Draft, traded to New York and later signed with Lincoln City of England’s League Two … his long strides, separation ability and speed put immense pressure on outside midfielders and defenders ... plays as a striker for the Bermuda National Team, but features on the left side of the midfield for the Revs … can whip crosses in from anywhere on the wing or in traffic … four of his eight career regular-season goals have counted as game-winners ... his last nine MLS goals overall (including MLS Cup Playoffs and SuperLiga) have come after the 72nd minute.
