TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing<\/p>\n
Red Bull New York<\/a> have acquired defender Justin Che<\/a> from Danish Superliga side Br\u00f8ndby IF, the club announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n The 21-year-old US youth international is under contract through 2028 with an option for 2029.<\/p>\n Che began his professional career as an FC Dallas<\/a> homegrown player. He enjoyed a breakout 2021 campaign, prompting loans to German sides Bayern Munich<\/a> and TSG Hoffenheim<\/a> before being transferred to Br\u00f8ndby<\/a> in July 2023.<\/p>\n “Justin is a versatile player who has vast experience both overseas and in MLS, and we are pleased to have him join our organization,” said head of sport Julian de Guzman.<\/p>\n “He is an exciting, young player who will bring energy to our team, and we are looking forward to seeing him with our group soon.”<\/p>\n Che has one appearance with Br\u00f8ndby, who have loaned him to Dutch side ADO Den Haag and Belgian team Patro Eisden in recent seasons.<\/p>\n In 2023, Che was a key starter for the United States at the FIFA U-20 World Cup.<\/p>\n “Justin is an intelligent defender who has great speed and will help add to our backline this upcoming season,” said head coach Michael Bradley.<\/p>\n “He has played a lot of minutes all across Europe and will be another great person to add to our roster to help our club accomplish its goals.”<\/p>\n New York are looking to rebound from a 10th-place finish in the Eastern Conference (43 points). That ended the club’s league-record, 15-year Audi MLS Cup Playoffs streak.<\/p>\n Recently, the Red Bulls named Bradley<\/a> as head coach. The legendary former MLS and USMNT<\/a> midfielder replaces the outgoing Sandro Schwarz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TRANSFER TRACKER STATUS: Signing Red Bull New York have acquired defender Justin Che from Danish Superliga side Br\u00f8ndby…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72467,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[36832,9,11,10,4505,12687,29361],"class_list":["post-72466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-justin-che","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-new-york-red-bulls","tag-sendtonews","tag-transfer-tracker"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72466"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72466\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
