After extending his contract at New York Red Bulls II that will keep him at the club for two-years in the MLS NEXT Pro through 2026, Uganda Cranes midfielder Steven Sserwadda has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to continue his development with Red Bulls II while also training with the senior team during preseason.
In an interview with Pan-Africa Football, Sserwada commented:
“I have to work hard at the club throughout the season and I thank the New York Red Bulls senior team for the opportunity to have me train with them during this preseason. It’s a brilliant experience that will help me a lot while with Red Bulls II. It really shows the trust they have in me and all I can do to pay back is by playing well and help the club get positive results alongside my teammates.”
