Bolu Akinyode traded from Bethlehem Steel to North Carolina FC

New York Red Bulls Academy product, Bolu Akinyode is on the move again. The former NYRB II man spent 2016 with Philadelphia Union's USL team, Bethlehem Steel. Now he has been traded to NASL's North Carolina FC.

NCFC is the team formerly known as the Carolina Railhawks, so Akinyode isn't quite moving a brand new squad. Still, he will spend his third year as a pro soccer player much as he spent the first two: with a club establishing its identity. Akinyode turned pro with NYRB II in 2015, joining the team for its inaugural season.
