The New England Revolution has swapped out its third-choice goalkeeper. Zack Simmons, who will attend law school at Yale University in the fall, was waived. Former net-minder of the Austin Aztex of the USL-1 Bobby Shuttleworth signed a developmental contract to replace him.

“We’re pleased to add Bobby to our roster and look forward to him joining the team later this week,” Revolution Vice President of Player Personnel Michael Burns said. “Bobby trained with us for a brief time this spring and we believe he can develop further with our coaching staff.

“We also want to wish Zack all the best as he enters law school this fall.”

In the coming weeks, New England will look to defend its SuperLiga title beginning Sunday against Santos Laguna.
