GOALKEEPERS

June 24, 1994/USA

USA INTERNATIONAL GOALKEEPER Matt joined in the summer, having played all his football in America until that point.

A regular for New England Revolution from 2018, he had previously been loaned to Richmond Kickers after joining from Jersey Express. His form in MLS soon led to a call up to the United States national team, and he saved a penalty on his debut against Trinidad and Tobago in January 2021.

“ He is improving, he’s getting better, obviously we’re asking him different things from what other managers have asked him to do.

“ He was much better in the first half than in the second half in my opinion. We could have had some more control.

“ But I think he was phenomenal in the goal in situations especially when defending the area in behind the centre halves, and in the one-against-one situations he was really good. ”
