Malcolm Fry, a 20-year-old attacker for the New England Revolution, scored his first goal with the team during a preseason friendly match against CF Montreal. Fry, who had five goals and six assists for Revs II last year, is thriving under the new coaching staff and is hoping to earn more playing time with the first team this season.

Why it matters

Fry is a homegrown player for the Revolution, signed in 2023, and his performance in the preseason is a positive sign for the club as they look to integrate more young talent into the first team. The Revolution are hoping Fry can develop into a key contributor this season and beyond.

The details

Fry's goal came after he received a pass from Javaun Mussenden and calmly slotted the ball into the net. Fry said he was thinking about a specific drill from training earlier in the week, where the focus was on keeping the ball low. The young attacker also had an assist earlier in preseason, setting up a goal for Dor Turgeman.

  • The goal came during the Revolution's preseason friendly against CF Montreal on February 7, 2026.
  • Fry signed with the Revolution as a homegrown player in October 2023.

What they’re saying

“I'm obviously super happy to get my first goal, be it preseason or not. In that moment, all I was thinking of was a specific drill we did in training this week of just keeping it low.”

— Malcolm Fry (theblazingmusket.com)

“I think the style of play not only suits me really well, but suits the group well. I think we've seen in the performances in training and in the games, there is 100 percent buy-in from everyone.”

— Marko Mitrovic, Head Coach (theblazingmusket.com)

“Being in my first year with the first team [in 2024], I maybe focused too much on being happy to be here. Not that being focused on being a good teammate is bad, but I'm trying to put more focus this year on not just being a good guy in the locker room and being a good influence around the club but also being someone that everyone can trust. That means being someone that the older guys and the more experienced guys can respect on the field.”

The takeaway

Fry's goal and overall preseason performance demonstrate the potential of the Revolution's homegrown talent, and the club's commitment to integrating young players into the first team under the new coaching staff.
