The Revolution Tuesday acquired former Harvard player Andre Akpan from the New York Red Bulls in a trade for Saer Sene.

Akpan, 26, a forward, was drafted by the Colorado Rapids out of Harvard in 2010. In 41 career MLS games, he has 4 goals and 2 assists. He was traded by Colorado to New York in March 2013.

“Andre is a player with experience in MLS who has roots in our area playing at Harvard,” said Revolution general manager Michael Burns. “We believe he can provide us with added competition at the forward position and give us more depth as we head into a playoff push.”
