New York Red Bulls 2022 season is over and now the team has revealed the roster decisions on who will stay and who will be departing the club. The biggest departures are those that were staying at the club via loan, although they still may return depending on negotiations. Caden Clark, Kyle Duncan and Elias Manoel have expired loans with no word as to whether they will be returning with the team in any capacity.

The team has exercised the options of goalkeeper AJ Marcucci as well as defenders Hassan Ndam, Dylan Nealis and Matt Nocita. Midfielders Wikelman Carmona, Omir Fernandez, Cristian Casseres Jr. and Steven Sserrwadda will also be returning.

A surprise name to be renewed is Jake LaCava. The forward has been missing from New York in 2022, having last made an appearance for New York Red Bulls II in 2021. He was on loan with the Tampa Bay Rowdies who will play Memphis 901 FC in the next round of the USL Championship playoffs. LaCava finished the season with 12 goals for Tampa and factored into last week's 3-1 victory over Miami FC in the playoff quarterfinals.

Aaron Long will also be out of contract with little word yet as to whether he will be returning to the club.

New York Red Bulls Current Roster:

Goalkeepers: Carlos Coronel, Ryan Meara, AJ Marcucci

Defenders: Hassan Ndam, Dylan Nealis, Sean Nealis, Matt Nocita, Andres Reyes, John Tolkin

Midfielders: Frankie Amaya, Wikelman Carmona, Cristian Casseres Jr., Daniel Edelman, Bento Estrela, Cameron Harper, Omir Fernandez, Lewis Morgan, Luquinhas, Steven Sserwadda, Dru Yearwood

Forwards: Tom Barlow, Jake LaCava, Patryk Klimala, Serge Ngoma

Red Bulls Acquire Midfielder Frankie Amaya from FC Cincinnati

photo by Matt Kremkau The rumors have become reality as Frankie Amaya has become a New York Red Bulls player. The news comes after Amaya signs a new deal with New York following a trade from FC Cincinnati for $500 thousand in allocation money this season and $450 thousand in 2022. "We are very pleased to complete this deal," said Director of Sport Kevin Thelwell. "Frankie is a player we've watched closely, and we are confident that his skills and attributes are a good fit for our philosophy and style of play. We look forward to getting him into our environment and achieving success together in the years ahead." The 20 year-old midfielder was the first overall pick in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft and played in 40 total games for FC Cincinnati, scoring one goal over that time. Amaya was also a major part of the US Men's National Team U20's Concacaf Championship win in 2018. The potential is there and his age and ability match the direction New York has taken o...

Tolkin and Edelman Called into Olympic Camp

Merced New York Red Bulls homegrown players John Tolkin and Daniel Edelman have been called into the US Olympic training camp ahead of friendlies later in the month. Tolkin, 21 years-old, has been called into Gregg Berhalter's camps in the past while Edelman will be making his first trip to the national level. Tolkin, now entering his fifth year as a New York Red Bulls player, has experience with the national team going all the way back to 2018 with the US Under 17 team. In 2023, he played four games for the Under 23 team and four games for the main national team as well. While he isn't a first choice pick yet, Tolkin's consistency hasn't gone unnoticed by US Soccer scouts and another solid showing could see him inch closer to a starting position. For Edelman it will be is first selection to such a camp. His experience with the Under 20's was extensive as he helped the team win the U20 Concacaf Championship in 2022. That tournamen...

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. Even though he has come close three times off of free kicks, hitting the crossbar twice and being saved by the ke...
