The New York Red Bulls have officially confirmed the signing of 21-year-old Panama international Michael Amir Murillo.
In the club's announcement, the player is described as a right back - which perhaps settles any initial doubt over the role he is expected to play at RBNY.
The official release is also notable for containing perhaps the first public step toward filling the now-vacant sporting director position at RBNY. Denis Hamlett is quoted, though he is still an assistant coach for the Red Bulls per the club's statement. He describes a role in the transfer that is similar to the one Ali Curtis used to describe when he was routinely providing comments to official club announcements.
