Noah Eile Joins Red Bulls from Malmo

by Anthony J. Merced

New York Red Bulls have signed 21 year-old Swedish defender Noah Eile from Malmo for an undisclosed fee according to the team. Eile will be on a four year deal that will see him play with the club through 2027.

"Noah is a talented defender with a great skillset," said head coach Sandro Schwarz. "We are excited to see him on the pitch at Red Bull Arena this season."

Eile may have moved from Malmo but has been on loan for most of his time with the club, making only three appearances in 2021. He has been on loan for the past two campaigns with Mjallby AIF where he made over 50 appearances. The move comes as the team looks to deepen its center back pool following the departure of Hasan Ndam and Matthew Nocita at the end of the 2023 season.

More than likely Eile will help lessen the load from captain Sean Nealis and his center back partner Andres Reyes. With congestion from the Leagues Cup and international tournaments in 2024, Eile should see significant minutes on the field. Whether he is able to displace either of last year's starters remains to be seen.

"Noah is a promising young defender," said Head of Sport Jochen Schneider. "Although Noah is young, he has a lot of experience in Sweden's top division and has the qualities we value in a defender."

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...

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...
