Fans to Welcome Revolution Midfielder Shalrie Joseph Back to New England on Thursday in Dedham

The New England Revolution will host a special “Welcome Shalrie Back to Boston” event at ROSTER Sports Lifestyle store (208 Legacy Place, Dedham, Mass.) on Thursday, May 8 (6-7:30 p.m.), giving fans the chance to meet Revolution midfielder Shalrie Joseph ahead of the team’s game against Seattle Sounders FC at Gillette Stadium on Sunday May, 11 (6:00 PM).

Fans in attendance will be eligible for giveaways – including a signed Shalrie Joseph jersey – and have the opportunity to win tickets to Sunday’s Revs vs. Sounders match. The event is open to the general public for fans of all ages.

Joseph – who was claimed by the Revolution last week – re-joins his original MLS club after spending the last year and a half with Chivas USA and Seattle. Originally drafted by the Revolution in 2002 out of St. John’s, Joseph signed with the Revolution ahead of the 2003 season and played nine and a half seasons in Foxborough until he was traded to Chivas USA in August 2012.

Joseph has made 283 career appearances in MLS – including a Revolution-club record 261 appearances. He has scored 40 career goals and added 35 career assists in the regular season, including 37 goals (to rank fourth in the club’s records) and 34 assists (to rank third in the club’s records) in New England. Joseph was a finalist for the 2009 MLS Most Valuable Player award, and was a four-time MLS Best XI selection and an eight-time MLS All-Star selection.
