The Colorado Rapids have further bolstered their roster at goalkeeper.
The club announced Wednesday that it has signed 25-year old Ethan Bandré to a one-year contract, with two club options lasting one additional year each.
Bandré signed to Rapids 2 in February of this year after spending his first two seasons of professional soccer with Sporting KC II. Since then, under the guidance of new addition Zack Steffen and exceptional goalkeepers coach Chris Sharpe, Bandré has impressed the club in training and in MLS NEXT Pro matches.
In four starts this season for Rapids 2, Bandré has allowed 12 goals in what has so far been a turbulent campaign for a team which reached the Western Conference Final last year.
Adam Beaudry, who signed with the first team after being named a 2023 MLS NEXT Pro goalkeeper of the year finalist, has been training in England with Arsenal since Monday, first reported by The Athletic and confirmed by The Denver Post.
He is slated to return stateside before the Rapids’ away match against New York City FC on May 5, though it is unclear whether Beaudry or Bandré will be on the bench for that match.
Either way, it means in Bandré’s first week as a first-teamer, he will appear on the bench for an MLS match. He will serve as the backup for Steffen.
Upon Beaudry’s return, Bandré will continue to play minutes and gain valuable experience for Erik Bushey’s Rapids 2 squad.
