The most decorated player in New York Red Bulls history looks set to come home.
Shortly after announcing his retirement through social media on Tuesday afternoon, news broke that Bradley Wright-Phillips will be returning to the Red Bulls in a front office capacity. Chris Smith of 90Min first broke the news that the Englishman would be taking on a “recruitment” role as the club rebuilds its front office in the wake of head of sport Kevin Thelwell’s departure last month. A source later confirmed to OaM that Wright-Phillips will indeed be taking on a still to-be-determined position with New York but was not a candidate to be the next head of sport.
