TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Transfer

Jason Pendant is returning to his native France after the New York Red Bulls transferred him to Ligue 2 side Quevilly-Rouen, the club announced Tuesday.

The 25-year-old defender was stuck in a reserve role, making five substitute appearances during his third year in MLS.

ā€œWe wish Jason all the best in this next step,ā€ sporting director Denis Hamlett said in a release. ā€œWe are pleased to have found a transfer that is beneficial for both the player and the club.ā€

During his RBNY career, the fullback had two assists across 27 games (17 starts). He played a big role in their 2020 campaign after arriving from French club Sochaux, but was largely second/third-choice the last two years.

The Red Bulls are currently atop the Eastern Conference standings with 33 points as MLS Week 20 gets underway.
