Malcolm Fry on His Recent First-Team appearances: “I try not to focus on the one moment; I try to just focus on the journey and the development, but it definitely is exciting to have those moments where all your work and all the dedication is validated. I think it was awesome for me during Leagues Cup especially, and in Philly [Philadelphia Union], and against Orlando [City, SC], to have some consistent time with the first team and get good feedback from the coaches. I learned a lot from those experiences, and I think going into next season, I'll be able to use those and know what I should focus on for the coming season.” Photo Courtesy of the New England Revolution.
