HARRISON, N.J. (July 14, 2022) – New York Red Bulls II have signed defender Hassan Ndam to a USL Championship contract pending league and federation approval, the club announced today.

“We had the opportunity to bring Hassan in and we think that his experience, knowledge, and leadership will help the team continue to grow as the season continues,” Sporting Director Denis Hamlett said.
At the end of the 2018 season, Ndam was selected by FC Cincinnati in the MLS Expansion Draft. He was loaned to the Charlotte Independence for the 2019 season, where he appeared in five matches and tallied 321 minutes.
