New York Adds Forward Jorge Cabezas Hurtado on Loan

by Anthony J. Merced

New York Red Bulls have added English Premier League forward Jorge Cabezas Hurtado on loan for the remainder of the 2023 MLS regular season according to the team. The 19 year-old joined Watford on loan in January but saw limited time with the club and will now move to New York in an effort to gain experience and minutes.

"We believe Jorge has the potential to help our roster this season and we are looking forward to him getting on the pitch at Red Bull Arena soon," said Head of Sport Jochen Schneider.

While Hertado is signed with Watford, he spent the last six months with the Colombian side Independiente Medellin in the Categoria Premer A. He has also represented in country with the U-20 Colombian national team where he made 20 appearances and scored three goals and two assists. 

For New York, it is an addition to an attack that has suffered this year in finishing opportunities. While the 19 year-old may not include immediately in the squad, it is likely that he will feature in the coming games later this month once the team returns to MLS regular season play.

"We believe he has qualities to succeed in MLS," said head coach Troy Lesesne. "And help us push towards our goals this season."

This is the second addition to the club this window with defender Juan Jose Mina joining less than a week ago. New York will play NYCFC tonight in the round of 32 of the Leagues Cup.

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...

Quotes: Red Bulls Show Promise, But More Work Need To Be Done

photo by Matt Kremkau Sixty seconds in a ninety-minute match. That’s all it took for Sporting Kansas City to ruin the Opening Day festivities at Red Bull Arena on Saturday night. The supporters in attendance saw crisp passing and a stout defense that kept the visitors at bay, despite not having striker Alan Pulido in the starting lineup. But significantly, the supporters were buoyed by a return to that press that has last seen since Jesse Marsch was in charge. But that was the first 45 minutes. In the second half, things turned for the better and then, shockingly, worse for the home side that evening. Midfielder Caden Clark, who scored the opening goal, spoke about the match as a whole: I’ve kept that in the back of my mind, actually, not scoring at home. I really wanted to do that in front of the supporters, and it was great to do that in front of the few that were here tonight who brought the noise. When I scored that [goal] the place was shaking, and you feed off of that and gai...
