New York Red Bulls II midfielder Kyle Zajec made his first appearance for NYRB II in the very first match in club history against the Rochester Rhinos. After a four-year collegiate career at Georgetown University, he signed his first professional contract with NYRB II on March 8, 2019.
He finished his first professional season with four goals, with his first two coming against Philadelphia Union II within minutes of each other. After making 20 appearances in 2019, he played the full-90 in the 2020 home opener against Tampa Bay Rowdies. The season provides Zajec with the opportunity to be a vocal leader on the field.
