The New York Red Bulls have announced the signing of Dru Yearwood, a 20-year-old central midfielder who last played for EFL Championship side, Brentford F.C.
For the 2017-18 and 2018-19 season, Yearwood played over 3,600 minutes in League One with Southend United, where he contributed five assists.
Back in 2018, the Red Bulls’ new midfielder became the first player born in the 21st Century to start for Southend’s first team.
Early on in 2019, Yearwood became the third 18-year-old player in the Blues’ history to reach 50 games.
At the time his former Head Coach, Chris Powell, praised him for having more games with the first team than the youth team.
