J-League forward Yuzo Tashiro became the latest player added to the Revolution’s list of non-rostered camp invites, which was updated on Wednesday.

Tashiro, 32, recently played for Vissel Kobe, where he scored one goal in 13 games for the side in 2014. During his 12-year career, the J-League veteran has also played for Oita Trinita (2003), Sagan Tosu (2004), Kashima Antlers (2005-11) and Montedio Yamagata (2010 – loan).

The Japanese forward’s most successful spell came in 2010, while on loan with Montedio Yamagata, where he scored 10 goals in 29 games. After he season, he was returned to Antlers, and not long after, Yamagata was relegated back to J-League Division 2.

The addition of Tashiro puts the total number of camp invites to eight, with 21 players on the active roster. The Revolution currently have 26 players presently in camp, with Lee Nguyen (U.S.), Jermaine Jones (U.S.) and Diego Fagundez (Uruguay U-20s) all on international duty.

New England will play its first preseason scrimmage at 9:00am on Saturday against Real Salt Lake at Grande Sports Complex in Case Grande, Ariz.
