HARRISON, N.J. (January 30, 2016) - The New York Red Bulls transferred defender Matt Miazga to Chelsea FC of the English Premier League, the club announced today. Miazga, who was entering into the final year of his contract with the Red Bulls, made 38 appearances with New York after signing as a Homegrown player in 2013, of which 30 appearances came in 2015.
“It is a bittersweet day for the New York Red Bulls,” said Sporting Director Ali Curtis. “We are very happy for Matt to get the opportunity but it is tough to see him leave after coming through our academy to the first team – there is a different feel when one of your homegrown players leaves,” Curtis continued.
