New England Revolution head coach Caleb Porter says Jonathan Mensah will bring positive presence to their dressing room.
The 33-year-old defender sealed a one-year contract with the option to extend for an additional year.
The move reunites Mensah with new Revs head coach Caleb Porter, who worked with the 33-year-old Ghana international at the Columbus Crew. Playing under Porter, the 2020 MLS Best XI honoree won MLS Cup (2020) and Campeones Cup (2021) titles.
“Jonathan is a person of the utmost character who embodies strong leadership qualities. During our time together in Columbus, he is someone my staff and I could depend on each and every week, bringing a professionalism and passion to the pitch,” Porter said.
“Jonathan knows what it takes to win a championship and will bolster our center back depth and bring a positive presence to the locker room.”
Mensah brings seven seasons of MLS experience to New England, including an impactful six-year stint with the Columbus Crew from 2017 to 2022.
Guided by New England’s new head coach, Caleb Porter, Mensah played a pivotal role in Columbus winning the 2020 MLS Cup title, featuring in every minute of the regular season and playoffs and earning recognition in the MLS Best XI.
Ahead of the 2023 season, he joined the San Jose Earthquakes, making 26 appearances, including 21 starts, and played a key role in San Jose’s journey to the postseason.
