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.
