New England Revolution Player Notes: Defender Andrew Farrell, team stalwart for 9 years

FARRELL APPROACHES ALL-TIME REVS SERVICE RECORD

Defender Andrew Farrell, currently in his ninth season with the Revolution, is poised to break multiple club records including games played,
games started, and minutes played. In Saturday’s win against Atlanta,
Farrell eclipsed Jay Heaps for third-most starts in club history. He’ll surpass his former head coach for fifth-most games played with his next
appearance.
