The New England Revolution acquired defender Tim Parker and $600,000 in 2025 General Allocation Money (GAM) from St. Louis City SC in exchange for defender Henry Kessler.

Parker, 31, owns 267 appearances in Major League Soccer, including 256 starts, with six goals and four assists, across 10 seasons with Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the New York Red Bulls, Houston Dynamo FC, and St. Louis City SC. The veteran central defender has registered 13 additional games played in the MLS Cup Playoffs, with three goals scored and one assist.

The New York native produced his best season in 2023, earning MLS Best XI and All-Star selections in helping guide St. Louis City SC to an appearance in the MLS Cup Playoffs in the club’s inaugural season. Parker netted a career-best four goals last season across 29 MLS appearances, all starts.

Kessler joined the Revolution as the sixth selection in the 2020 MLS SuperDraft. The 26-year-old central defender posted 98 appearances in MLS play for New England, including 88 matches started, with four goals scored.
