Connor Lade: ‘Dream Come True’ to Play for Red Bulls for Eight Seasons

Connor Lade has announced his retirement.

“I’ve definitely had a lot of highs, a lot of lows, but I wouldn’t take back anything, I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Lade said. “It was an incredible run and I’m just very, very lucky to have eight great years with this club.”

The New Jersey native signed with the organization as a Homegrown Player in 2011 after joining Red Bulls Academy in 2007.

He said it was “a childhood dream come true” to play for his local club.

Lade went on to play over 10,000 minutes across all competitions for the Red Bulls.
