FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The Revolution traded former captain Joe Franchino to the Los Angeles Galaxy for L.A.’s second-round pick in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft.
Franchino, 31, has appeared in 211 career Major League Soccer games, including 162 with the Revolution. He began his career with the Galaxy in 1998 when L.A. drafted him out of Washington in the third round (30th overall) of the MLS College Draft. Franchino came to New England in 2000 through the MLS Special Draft.
“We want to thank Joe for all of his contributions to our success since his arrival in New England in 2000,” said Revolution Director of Soccer Michael Burns in a statement. “We wish him the best of luck in Los Angeles.”
Franchino has scored five career goals – all in New England – and has added 23 assists, including 16 with the Revs. A native of Fontana, Calif., he has been a member of five teams that have played in MLS Cup championship matches.
The Revs will play their first game without Franchino Saturday at New York against the Red Bulls.
