Back in the summer of 2015, a young center back turned up in New York Red Bulls' training. At the end of his trial, it was reported that RBNY intended to stay in touch with the schoolboy defender. And the Red Bulls have clearly made good on that promise: Hassan Ndam is the latest RBNY signing for the 2017 MLS season.
A recent graduate of the Montverde Academy, a Florida-based youth soccer powerhouse, Ndam lands at RBNY via the preferred MLS route for young Cameroonian talent: Rainbow FC Bamenda.
