Max Arfsten

Arfsten had a productive first full season in Columbus as he recorded 10 goal contributions (five goals and five assists) across 33 appearances (24 starts). He established himself as the team's first choice in left midfield, taking over the position from Yaw Yeboah who was let go by Columbus after the season. With essentially no competition at the position, Arfsten will head into the 2025 campaign as a starter and a major force in Columbus' attack. His chance creation, along with his goal scoring and defensive prowess, sets him up for another productive season in one of the best attacks in the league.
