The Revolution announced that third-year midfielder Zak Boggs has retired in order to accept a Fulbright Scholarship to study medical sciences at England’s Leicester University, beginning this fall.
“We want to wish Zak the best of luck as he re-enters the academic world,” Revolution general manager Michael Burns said. “Zak has had a passion for medical research his entire time with us, which he was able to balance with his playing career. But this is an outstanding opportunity for him, and one which allow him to continue his cancer research at a higher level.”
Boggs, 25, had yet to see any action in 2012 after suffering a severe ankle sprain in early February. He was originally drafted in the second round (31st overall) in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. He made 29 appearances, scoring two goals and adding one assist.
