Kwame Awuah became NYCFC’s second acquisition of the MLS SuperDraft 2017 on Friday.
Following Jonathan Lewis to the club, the Canadian youth international has vowed to take this opportunity he’s been given and expressed his gratitude to the coaching staff for bringing him to New York.
NYCFC traded $75k of GAM to Seattle Sounders in order to land the versatile 21-year old as the 16th overall pick at the draft.
Awuah told NYCFC.com: “I’m really excited, I can’t wait to get started with the guys. To play under great coaching staff in a great city with a great fanbase, it’s an opportunity I won’t let go to waste.
