Signed in September 2012, the defender has not featured in any regular season games for the Red Bulls, this season or last, in large part due to nagging injuries. This season, a heel injury has sidelined him. In all, he made a cameo one minute appearance in the MLS Cup playoffs November 8 against D.C. United, the extent of his competitive minutes with New York.
The Red Bulls declined to comment on the report when contacted by MLSsoccer.com.
