Andre Rawls is a patient man.
The 25-year old goalkeeper waited two years to pull on the NYCFC jersey on gameday.
That wait finally came to an end in Wednesday’s Desert Diamond Cup match against Red Bulls when he was introduced as a second half substitute.
A Californian native, Rawls has improved exponentially since he swapped West Coast for East following the club’s pick-up in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft and was rewarded with this 30-minute run-out in Tucson.
Charting his progression from his first-year loan spell at Wilmington Hammerheads to now, Andre admits it’s been a huge 12 months in his career.
