Minnesota United FC Outside Back Jerome Thiesson above gives his speech accepting the Dark Clouds Newcomer of the Year Award. The Dark Clouds are one of Minnesota United's most recognized supporter groups and have held the End of the Year Awards for the last fourteen years. Thiesson joined Minnesota right as the season started for its inaugural MLS season and developed into a fan-favorite and most reliable player starting in all 33 games eligible and led the club and in minutes played with 2955 minutes. He also had a memorable "Loon Celebration" after scoring his first MLS goal, capped off another Golaso in the last game of the year and was part of a series called "Jerry's Thoughts."  Soccer America recognized Thiesson as the 5th best right back in MLS for the 2017 Season.  It was a big year off the field for Jerome and his wife Ivana as well by welcoming their first child Jago in July. Congrats Jerome on this recognition and looking forward to seeing you in 2018! Follow Jerome on Twitter at @J_Thiesson.
