The New England Revolution added to the midfield Wednesday when the club signed former San Jose Earthquakes and United States National Team midfielder Jackson Yueill.

After spending two years at UCLA, Yueill started his professional career on January 13th, 2017, when the Earthquakes selected Yueill with the sixth overall pick in that year’s SuperDraft.

Through his eight seasons in San Jose, Yueill appeared in 232 matches across all competitions and tallied 15 goals and 16 assists over 18,972 minutes.

Yueill’s time with the Earthquakes led to opportunities at the international level. Since debuting on June 6th, 2019, Yueill has made 16 appearances for the USMNT and was part of the 2019-2020 Concacaf Nations League and 2021 Gold Cup title victories.

The 27-year-old midfielder inked a three-year deal with New England that will see him remain with the Revolution through the 2027 MLS season, with options for 2028 and 2029 included.

Yueill’s addition to the midfield comes after the Revs dealt away Ian Harkes in a package to the Earthquakes earlier this month while declining the options for Nacho Gil and Tommy McNamara. There’s also uncertainty if Southampton will pick up or decline the purchase option of Noel Buck.

“As a longtime captain with San Jose, his MLS experience and leadership qualities speak for themselves. Jackson has been a consistent central midfielder in our league and we look forward to having him in New England for the next several years,” technical director Curt Onalfo said.

Head Coach Caleb Porter called Yueill, a talented player who is in the prime of his career, but is also hungry to achieve more. He added that Yueill has a high football IQ and will bring the ability to dictate the rhythm and tempo of a match.
