HARRISON, N.J. (AP) — The New York Red Bulls says France striker Thierry Henry has joined the team in a multiyear deal.
The 33-year-old former Arsenal and Barcelona player is the Major League Soccer side’s second designated player.
In Wednesday’s announcement, the team says that Henry will make his debut on July 22 in an exhibition against Premier League club Tottenham.
Red Bulls general manager Erik Soler says that “Thierry is not only a world class player who will undoubtedly improve our squad, but he has shown most importantly throughout his career that he is a winner.”
