It is January 4 and the New York Red Bulls preseason schedule still makes no sense. But the team's back line has taken a big step forward with the re-signing of veteran center back Aurelien Collin.
Scarcely a day after the RBNY beat's scoop-whisperer, Kristian Dyer, reported for Metro (no relation) that player and club were close to agreeing terms, the Red Bulls have announced Collin is "back for 2017" (per Ali Curtis). As tends to be the case with MLS signings, there is no immediate news on the length of the contract.
