Former U.S. international forward Teal Bunbury is currently in his seventh year with New England Revolution, and it appears that he won’t be leaving anywhere anytime soon.
Revolution officially announced over the weekend that Bunbury inked an extension that will keep him with the organization for several more years. The 30-year-old player was previously on an expiring contract and would become a free agent after this season.
Speaking with reporters after the news was made public, Bunbury said that his “emotions are really high,” adding that signing extension represents a “special moment” for him.
Revolution’s head coach Bruce Arena was also pleased to know he will have Bunbury on his roster for years to come.
“I’ve had the pleasure to work with Teal Bunbury over the past year and have found him to be an invaluable part of our team and organization,” Arena. “Teal’s contributions on the field speak for themselves and he has been an important part of our team’s rebuilding efforts.”
Teal Bunbury made his MLS debut with Sporting Kansas City in 2010 and ended up making 98 appearances for the club in the next four years. In 2014, Bunbury was traded to New England in exchange for a first-round MLS SuperDraft pick and allocation money.
Since then, Bunbury played 171 games with the club and has scored 35 goals, including one in 2020. He currently finds himself eighth on New England’s all-time scoring list.
Despite being born in Canada, Bunbury represented the United States on the international level. He made four appearances with USMNT and scored one goal.
