FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The New England Revolution announced that they have parted ways with midfielder Kalifa Cisse after mutually agreeing to cancel his contract.

Cisse, 29, became a member of the Revolution in November of 2012 after spending time with Bristol City. He started in six games for New England, including the season opener in Chicago, but had not played for the team since the Revolution’s 1-1 draw with New York on May 11th.

“We want to thank Kalifa for his time with us and wish him well on his future opportunities,” Revolution General Manager Michael Burns said in a statement. “He has been a true professional and a great mentor for our young squad, so we wish him the best as he moves on.”

Cisse did not register a goal or an assist in his 456 minutes of play for New England. The Revolution have most recently used rookie Scott Caldwell in the defensive midfield role, along with Clyde Simms. Andy Dorman has also seen time in that role.
