New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis retires after 16 seasons in Major League Soccer
Another one of the league's old guard is calling time on his career, as New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis retired Wednesday as the longest-tenured player in club history.
In a career spent on both coasts, first with the LA Galaxy and later with New England, Reis cemented himself as one of the best netminders in league history, finishing near the top of just about every goalkeeping category. He is fourth in games played in goal (282), games started in goal (288) and minutes played in goal (25,936), fifth in wins (110) and saves (1,114) and sixth in shutouts (75).
After returning from injury to help lead the Revs to the playoffs this season, Reis suffered a torn left quadriceps in the final match of the season, a 3-1 loss to eventual MLS Cup champion Sporting KC in the Eastern Conference semifinals. He finished his career with a 1.32 goals against average, 75 shutouts and 110 victories.
