Groton native and New England Revolution Academy graduate, Malcolm Fry, has returned to action in MLS Next for the Revolution II. The 20-year-old forward recently returned from a leg injury, and wasted no time in making his presence felt. Fry was subbed on late in a scoreless game against New York City FC II, and scored the game winner in the 89th minute, beating the keeper with his right foot from a tight angle running down the right wing. Two games later Fry got his first start of the season, and opened the scoring for the Revs II in the opening moments of the second half. A pass came to Fry in the penalty box, in tight space his quick touches worked the ball inside the defender and onto his left foot, where he beat the keeper to the far post. The Revs went on to beat Columbus 2-1. Fry also contributed a goal and an assist in the Revs II subsequent 4-3 win over the Chicago Fire II. A deflected cross trickled into the penalty area, Fry was first to adjust and get a foot to it as the defender took him down from behind. Photo courtesy of the New England Revolution.
