The back line has been a priority for the New England Revolution during the offseason and while the team is now in Florida, more moves are being made.
The club announced the signing of free agent Wyatt Omsberg, a veteran MLS center back. He signed a one-year-deal with a club option for 2026.
Omsberg, 29, has racked up 67 total MLS appearances, including 47 starts, across seven seasons between Chicago Fire FC and Minnesota United FC. The defender was selected in the first round of the 2018 MLS SuperDraft by Minnesota after a four-year tenure at Dartmouth College.

“As a veteran defender in our league, Wyatt brings MLS experience to our backline,” head coach Caleb Porter said. “Wyatt also brings added depth to our group of central defenders. I look forward to working with Wyatt and integrating him to our team in the coming weeks as we prepare to kick off the 2025 season.”
Omsberg is the fourth center back that New England has acquired this season. With new arrivals Bryan Ceballos and Mamadou Fofana slated for starting roles, Omsberg appears to be a depth acquisition who can come off the bench to maintain leads or earn the occasional spot start when Porter is looking to rotate his squad.
