Chris Tierney, the Wellesley native who went on to have an 11-year professional soccer career with the New England Revolution, announced his retirement this week at the age of 32. Playing in nearly 250 games, he took part in the third most of any Revolution player.
Among his career highlights was scoring a goal in the Revolution’s last MLS Cup appearance, a 2-1 loss to the LA Galaxy in 2014. He missed most of this season with a torn ACL.

Tierney, a fullback, played college soccer at the University of Virginia. He played at Noble and Greenough School before that.
We didn’t see any mention of what Tierney might be doing next, but we’re assuming that retirement from the Revolution doesn’t mean “retirement” retirement…
