New York City FC today announced that Justin Haak has signed his first professional contract with the Club.
The 17-year-old Brooklyn native becomes City’s third-ever Homegrown Player to graduate from the Academy to the first team squad, following James Sands and Joe Scally.
“It’s hard to describe,” Haak said about signing a professional contract for NYCFC. “You dream about it almost your whole life and then what it actually comes - you almost can’t believe it.”
“When NYCFC was first announced, I knew I wanted to play for the professional team in my own city that I’ve grown up in.
