The New England Revolution placed four players on waivers in advance of Monday’s waiver draft.<\/p>\n

Forward Blake Brettschneider, defender Florian Lechner, midfielder\/forward Alec Purdie and midfielder\/forward Michael Roach all had their options declined and were subject to the draft. None were selected, and all four are now available on a first-come, first-serve basis to any club in MLS.<\/p>\n

Brettschneider was signed by the Revolution right before the start of the 2012 season as the club awaited the arrival of Jose Moreno. The 23-year-old striker was penciled into the First Kick starting XI at San Jose, but spent the bulk of the season in a reserve role. He scored two goals in 17 games in 2012.<\/p>\n

Lechner arrived in Foxboro shortly after the season kicked off and made nine appearances in an injury-plagued campaign. Foot and knee injuries limited the 31-year-old during his lone season in Foxboro.<\/p>\n

Purdie, a 2012 Supplemental Draft pick, made his MLS debut on Mar. 24 vs. Portland as a 70th minute substitute. The 23-year-old wide midfielder played in five games for the Revolution in his rookie campaign.<\/p>\n

Roach, another 2012 Supplemental Draft pick, never saw action with the first team. However, the 24-year-old midfielder\/forward featured in all 10 Reserve League games and scored one goal.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the moves, Revolution now have 24 players on the roster, including recently-signed Kalifa Cisse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
