In an era where flashy attackers and high-profile signings grab the headlines, Andrew Farrell has quietly built one of the most remarkable defensive careers in MLS history.
Drafted #1 overall by New England Revolution in 2013, Farrell has remained with the club ever since. In 2023, he became the all-time appearances leader for the Revolution, surpassing 300 games — all with the same club.
Farrell has been a consistent, reliable center back and right back across multiple coaching eras and tactical systems. While he rarely makes highlight reels, he’s known inside MLS circles as one of the most dependable defenders of his generation.
His milestone is rare in a league known for player turnover and short contracts. He’s never been an All-Star or major award-winner — but teammates and coaches alike praise his professionalism, work ethic, and loyalty.
In a league that often values flash, Farrell’s record is a tribute to quiet greatness.
