HARRISON, N.J. (February 14, 2022) – New York Red Bulls II have added forward Jordan Adebayo-Smith on loan through the end of the 2022 USL Championship season, the club announced today. New York has an option to buy Adebayo-Smith at the end of the loan period.
Adebayo-Smith, 21, appeared in 25 matches and recorded six starts during the 2021 USL Championship season with the Tampa Bay Rowdies. He accumulated 683 minutes and scored four goals, which was tied for fourth on the team.
“We are very excited to add Jordan to our roster for the 2022 season,” Red Bulls Academy Director Sean McCafferty said. “He is a player with exceptional pace and is a threat to any back line with his ability to run in behind and create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates.”
