Noel Buck
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (January 6, 2025) – New England Revolution Homegrown midfielder Noel Buck has returned to the club from his loan to English Premier League club Southampton FC. Buck will rejoin the Revolution's roster ahead of the 2025 Major League Soccer season, his fourth season with the first team.
Buck, 19, owns 45 MLS appearances, including 30 matches started, with five goals scored and three assists over parts of three seasons from 2022-2024. The Arlington, Mass. native made his MLS debut in 2022, netting one goal in seven games played in his debut campaign. Last season, Buck recorded one goal and one assist in 13 appearances before joining Southampton FC on a six-month loan beginning on Aug. 31, 2024. Buck tallied six games played for Southampton FC’s Under-21s.
In total, Buck has suited up for 57 appearances across all competitions for the Revs’ first team. A graduate of the Revolution Academy, Buck made his professional debut at 16 with Revolution II, totaling six goals in 44 appearances. On the international level, Buck has represented England at the Under-19 and Under-20 levels, scoring one goal in eight games played.
In New England, Buck is now reunited with his older brother, Joe Buck. A fellow Revolution Academy alum, the elder Buck, 22, signed his first professional contract with Revolution II on Friday, Jan. 3 after a three-year collegiate career at Georgetown University.
