Harrison, NJ (Sports Network) - Red Bull New York announced the signing of goalkeeper Jeremy Vuolo from Finnish first-division side AC Oulu on Wednesday.

Vuolo, a Downingtown, Pennsylvania native, played college soccer at Syracuse University and Hartwick College before making the move to Scandinavia for the 2011 season. The 24-year-old made 24 appearances for AC Oulu, recording 11 clean sheets.

"After doing extensive scouting, we believe that Jeremy has a very bright future ahead of him and can compete at the MLS level," Red Bulls general manager and sporting director Erik Soler said in a statement. "He had a very good year playing professionally in Finland and brings many great attributes to the table. We expect that he will compete for a starting spot this year."

Vuolo will be added to New York's roster pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate. Per league and club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
