Hartford Athletic may have found its next starting goalkeeper, with the club announcing Wednesday that it has signed Jeff Caldwell for the upcoming USL Championship season.
Caldwell spent the 2020 season as the New England Revolution’s third-string goalkeeper, slotted behind incumbent Matt Turner and veteran backup Brad Knighton.
The 24-year-old isn’t guaranteed the No. 1 role by any means – Hartford also signed Carlos Merancio after time with FC Tucson in USL League One – but he’ll have every chance to impress new head coach Harry Watling before the 2021 campaign gets underway.
