The New York Red Bulls’ youth movement is on full display in Arizona camp.
With the first team at home for CONCACAF Champions League, four Red Bulls academy players joined the New York’s preseason camp and received their most significant minutes on Wednesday against Houston Dynamo.
Kevin O’Toole, Zach Ryan, Kazu Shigenobu and goal scorer Omir Fernandez each played 45 minutes, with significant impact on the game.
“We got some good performances from young guys,” head coach John Wolyniec said. “Some academy guys like Omir Fernandez and Kazu [Shigenobu] so I’m definitely happy about that and the other [academy] guys too.
