Revolution II Sign Liam Butts and Gevork Diarbian
Butts and Diarbian join Revolution II after trialing during preseason.
Revolution II bolstered their attack as the club has signed former Providence College and Vermont Green forward Gevork Diarbian per sources.
The Cranston, Rhode Island native signed his first professional contract after spending four seasons at Providence College, where he tallied 12 goals and 17 assists over 64 appearances.
His time with Providence also saw him claim 2020-21 All-BIG East Third Team, 2021 All-BIG East Second Team, 2021 BIG East All-Tournament, 2021 United Soccer Coaches All-East Region Second Team, 2022 All-BIG East Second Team, 2022 United Soccer Coaches All-East Region Third Team, and 2023 All-BIG East Second Team honors.
Diarbian is no stranger to the New England Revolution organization, as he developed in the Revolution Academy before committing to Providence. He’s also no stranger to Revolution II, as he had two trials with the club. The first came during the summer of 2023, with the latter coming during 2024’s preseason.
Blazing Musket readers may remember Diarbian from his time with USL League 2 side Vermont Green, where he tallied four goals in 2023.
New England Revolution II officially announced Gevork Diarbian’s signing on Wednesday afternoon. Along with Diarbian, the club announced the signing of forward Liam Butts!
Butts joins Revolution II after graduating from Penn State in 2023. During his time with the Nittany Lions, Butts notched 25 goals and eight assists over 72 appearances. Butts also received several Big-Ten and United Soccer Coaches honors.
Both Butts and Diarbian spent the preseason trialing with Revolution II through their 1-1-1 preseason campaign. Liam Butts was the trialist who scored the opening goal during February 10th’s 1-1 draw against Orlando City B.
