Agudelo returns to New England Revolution

New England Revolution confirmed the signing of Juan Agudelo on Friday morning.

The 22-year old forward has re-signed with the Revs with whom he spent the second half of the 2013 season following a trade with Chivas USA.

Since then Agudelo tried his luck in England with Stoke City but visa issues denied him the chance to ever play for the Premier League club who sent him on loan to Dutch side FC Utrecht.

But today it was revealed that Agudelo has returned to the Gillette Stadium on what is believed to be a four-year deal according to MLSsoccer.com.

"Juan is a player that we always knew that we would be interested in welcoming back to the club if the opportunity presented itself, and now it has," general manager Michael Burns said in a statement.

"He is familiar with our club, our coaches, many of his teammates and the system that we play so we are confident that he will be able to fit right in and help us straight away."

During his first spell in Foxborough, the former New York Red Bulls young gun scored seven goals in 14 appearances for the Revs.
