Mini bio
How it started.
Matt grew up in New Jersey playing baseball and basketball. Watching the 2010 World Cup helped turn his interest toward soccer. He went on to play at Fairfield University, then earned a Revolution contract after a preseason trial in 2016.
Finding his place.
Loan spells with the Richmond Kickers gave him his first professional matches. In 2018 he won New England’s starting job and made his MLS debut. His 2021 season brought the Supporters’ Shield, MLS Goalkeeper of the Year and MLS All-Star Game MVP honors.
For club and country.
Matt kept five clean sheets as the United States won the 2021 Gold Cup, earning the tournament’s Golden Glove. He started all four U.S. matches at the 2022 World Cup. His club career took him through Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace before a 2025 return to New England on loan from Lyon.
Back where he grew.
His return also reunited him with goalkeeper coach Kevin Hitchcock, whose belief he credits with building his confidence. In 2026 he earned another World Cup call-up and extended his stay with the Revolution.
