The New England Revolution announced the signing of forward Maximiliano Urruti, who joins the club on a contract through 2025, with an option for 2026. The 33-year-old Argentine arrives as a free agent, following his tenure with Club Atlético Platense in Argentina’s top flight. Sporting director Curt Onalfo expressed confidence in Urruti’s ability to contribute immediately, citing his decorated MLS career and championship pedigree.
Experienced MLS Veteran Joins New England
Urruti brings a wealth of experience to the Revolution, having spent 11 seasons in MLS. During that time, he has amassed 70 goals and 39 assists in 295 regular-season appearances while playing for clubs like Toronto FC, Austin FC, and the Portland Timbers. His addition adds significant depth and leadership to New England’s attacking lineup.
The Revolution have made substantial changes to their forward line ahead of the 2025 season. With Bobby Wood departing and Giacomo Vrioni traded to CF Montréal, the team has also acquired Leonardo Campana from Inter Miami CF and signed Ignatius Ganago on loan from FC Nantes. Urruti complements these moves with his experience and ability to perform in high-pressure situations.
Praise for Urruti’s Leadership
Head coach Caleb Porter, who previously coached Urruti during the Portland Timbers’ 2015 MLS Cup-winning campaign, emphasized the striker’s professionalism and locker-room presence. Porter believes Urruti’s familiarity with MLS and his veteran mindset will help the team rebuild after a challenging 2024 season. The Revolution is banking on Urruti’s proven track record to strengthen their squad.
As the Revolution gears up for the new season, they are focused on improving their performance after finishing 14th in the Eastern Conference last year. Their 2025 campaign begins on February 22 with a match against Nashville SC. With Urruti and other new signings onboard, New England is optimistic about turning things around and competing at a higher level.
