The San Jose Earthquakes have acquired midfielder Noel Buck from New England Revolution in a cash deal worth $600,000. Buck, who previously trained with Southampton FC, struggled to secure a first-team spot and returned to the U.S. after a loan stint. His performance included five goals and two assists across 47 matches with New England. The move comes after coach Bruce Arena's departure from New England, which had affected Buck's playing time. Buck, eligible to represent both England and the U.S., will fit into the Quakes' Under-22 Initiative openings.
Noel Buck is a player with excellent potential... I'm confident he can complement our midfield in both central and wide positions.
San Jose is sending $600,000 to the Revolution in exchange for Buck and could send another $50,000.
After Arena left New England... Buck's playing time decreased, leading to the Southampton loan.
Buck, 20, was loaned to Southampton FC in England last season but could not break through to the first team.
