Domi finds himself at home in New England

French left back hopes to help Revs back to playoffs

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – One week in Boston inspired Didier Domi to make the move from Europe to the United States.

Domi spent a brief period on trial with the New England Revolution in September as he and the Revs assessed whether a potential transfer made sense for both parties.

After getting a feel for the club and the city, Domi decided it did. The Revs agreed.

“You have to see if you feel good first with the team, the trainer and the town,” Domi told MLSsoccer.com earlier this week. “When I saw the atmosphere, it was good. There were a lot of youngsters and Steve [Nicol, Revolution coach] is very nice. That is the best part – to come here when you have the relationships.”

Those nascent bonds encouraged the former Newcastle, Olympiakos and Paris Saint-Germain defender to hold off on making a more lucrative move within Europe until the Revolution could claim him in the MLS discovery process and negotiate a deal for his services.

The Revs are also being linked with South African forward Benni McCarthy, who is on the outs at EPL side West Ham.

Another forward based overseas looking to latch on with an MLS club is Charlie Davies. His week-long trial continues today as D.C. United faces both Canada’s Under-20s and Florida International University in preseason exhibitions.

There is also a match between the San Jose Earthquakes and Chivas USA at the Home Depot Center at 5 p.m. ET. Five trialists are looking to make the squad for the Quakes.
