Adam Najem to stay at Akron for his senior year

After looking at options abroad over the winter, the academy graduate looks to be staying in the States for the time being.

The biggest will-he won't-he race rat surrounding the New York Red Bulls since Brandon Allen looks to be continuing on. Adam Najem will be returning to college for his senior year and will continue at Akron in the fall.

Najem turned down a homegrown deal with the New York this winter before it was reported that he was forgoing his senior year to go pro in Europe. Najem subsequently went on training stints with European clubs including Deportivo de La Coruña B, home to Canadian international Samuel Piette.
