German Bundesliga side RB Leipzig have signed Caden Clark from MLS franchise New York Red Bulls. The 18-year-old has signed a contract until June 2024 and will return to the MLS outfit on loan.
Caden Clark is an attacking midfielder who can play both on the wings and through the middle. Caden Clark spent his youth career at Minnesota Thunder and was also part of the FC Barcelona youth setup before moving to New York Red Bulls in February 2020. Initially starting out in the second team, the 18-year-old made the step up to the MLS and scored the winning goal against Atalanta United on his debut on October 11.
Clark has been a regular this season, starting all eight of his side’s league games so far, scoring four goals and providing one assist. He is currently sidelined for a few weeks after undergoing an appendectomy.
We wish you all the best this season with New York Red Bulls, Caden, and look forward to greeting you in Leipzig!
RB Leipzig commercial director sport Florian Scholz said, “In Caden Clark, we have once again pulled off the signing of a highly talented young player and have been able to tie him down for the long term. This signing completes another piece to our puzzle for our squad planning at an early stage. We decided that a loan back would allow Caden, at just 18 years old, a whole season in the MLS before he joins us here at Leipzig.”
RB Leipzig technical director Christopher Vivell said, “Caden Clark has fantastic skills and enormous potential. He can play anywhere across attacking midfield and is incredibly adaptable in his playing style. As well as that, he is a scoring threat, has great passing quality and strikes the ball well, allowing him to score goals from range. These skills make him a perfect fit for our playing philosophy.”
