The 25-year-old defensive midfielder is set to join the Revolution for the remainder of the 2017 MLS season, and will be added to the roster upon the receipt of his P-1 Visa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGershon had success with us last season and we feel fortunate we were able to reacquire him,\u201d said Revolution General Manger Michael Burns in a club release. \u201cWe look forward to having him back for the remainder of 2017 and expect he\u2019ll be able to come in and make an immediate impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear what role Koffie will assume during his encore. He was initially acquired last winter in the wake of defensive midfielder Xavier Kouassi&#8217;s season-ending ACL injury. With Kouassi now healthy, Koffie may be asked to play closer to goal. <\/p>\n<p>The addition of Koffie brings the Revolution roster to 24 players. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gershon Koffie will be back in Foxboro after the Revs acquired him on loan from Hammarby. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[3],"tags":[891,1449,888,892],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nesoccertoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Koffie-7.png?fit=600%2C415&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45409"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45409"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45409\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45411,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45409\/revisions\/45411"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/42357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
