FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England Revolution forward Taylor Twellman today announced that he is ending his professional soccer career because of medical issues.
Twellman, born in Minneapolis, Minn., and raised in St. Louis, Mo., leaves the game after nine seasons in Major League Soccer, all with the New England Revolution. The 2005 MLS Most Valuable Player scored 101 career goals in 174 career appearances since joining MLS in 2002. He was also a two-time MLS Best XI performer (2002, 2005) and a five-time MLS All-Star.
Twellman has been limited to just two appearances in the last two seasons, and was unable to play at all in 2010 because of his ongoing medical concerns stemming from an on-field collision while scoring a goal in a game against the LA Galaxy on Aug. 30, 2008.
