The New England Revolution received $600,000, plus an additional $50,000 in conditional compensation, in a trade with the San Jose Earthquakes for midfielder Noel Buck. The Revolution also retain a percentage of Buck’s future sell-on rights.

Buck, a native of Arlington, departs the Revolution after making 47 MLS regular season appearances, with 30 starts, for his hometown club.

The midfielder also made two postseason starts in the Audi 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs. A graduate of the Revolution’s pro player pathway, Buck was named the 2021-22 Revolution Academy Player of the Year and featured regularly for Revolution II before ascending to the first team. During the 2025 campaign, the Homegrown Player has totaled 22 minutes played over two substitute appearances.

“Noel Buck’s career in New England from an Academy player to first team contributor is another good example for young players in our pro pathway,” Sporting Director Curt Onalfo said. “Noel has been part of the Revolution family since age 12, and we take pride in being part of his development as a player and as a person. We wish him all the best in San Jose.”
