Red Bulls midfielder Jared Stroud was selected in the second round of the MLS Expansion Draft. 

The Red Bulls were among the ten teams that presented a list of unprotected players available for selection. Per draft rules, no MLS club can lose more than one player in the draft.

The Red Bulls will receive $50,000 in General Allocation Money in exchange for Stroud.

Jared Stroud graduated from RBNY II to earn an MLS contract last year. He made 20 appearances (11 starts) in his first season with the Red Bulls. He made his MLS debut against Atlanta United on July 11 in the MLS is Back Tournament and tallied his first MLS start against New York City FC in a 1-0 win on August 20. Stroud recorded his first MLS assist against Inter Miami FC on October 7.

"On behalf of everyone at the club, I’d like to thank Jared, who has worked hard to improve his game over the last few seasons with Red Bulls II," Head of Sport Kevin Thelwell said. "He earned an MLS contract, earned playing time, and did well for us whenever called upon. He’s shown that he can play in MLS, and we wish him all the best in Austin.”

The Colgate University product had 22 goals and 20 assists in 64 USL Championship appearances. He is an attacking midfielder, comfortable to play on either wing.

The selection now leaves the club with eight midfielders remaining on the current roster.

photo by Matt Kremkau by Anthony J. Merced As preseason winds down with one game left to play, the players ready and available for Sandro Schwarz become more clear. Dante Vanzeir, who ended his 2023 with a back injury, has seemingly found the form the team hoped to get last year and goalkeeper AJ Marcucci looks ready to prove himself as an MLS goalkeeper with a solid performance on Wednesday. While there are positives from players coming back from injury, one player who still appears to be looking for fitness is Lewis Morgan. The 2022 top scorer for the Red Bulls, saw himself on the sidelines for most of 2023. Now, in preseason, he finds himself still working towards fitness according to head coach Sandro Schwarz.

Editorial: New York Red Bulls are Fun to Watch

photo by Matt Kremkau by Daniel Feuerstein The New York Red Bulls 2024 season starts off and running. In their first three matches, they have looked different from their last five to six seasons of doom and despair when trying to attack or have a lapse in judgment on the defensive end. The two big editions for the club are undoubtedly the imports from Sweden in Centerback Noah Elle & attacking midfielder Emil Forsberg. Two players who are a part of the Swedish National Team have started off well in Major League Soccer. We all knew what we were getting right away from Forsberg. A high-energy creative and attacking midfielder who was already bought in from day one, when Director of Sport Jochen Schneider went to Leipzig and brought him over. He was already committed to making the trip to the United States to play his brand of soccer, and so far he hasn't disappointed.
