Ghanaian defender Roy Boateng has joined New York Red Bulls after the MLS Super Draft in Chicago on Friday.
Boateng, a 6-foot-2 central defender, was chosen with the 16th overall pick.
His stalwart displays earned him back-to-back Big West Conference Defender of the Year honors with UC Davis.
Boateng had a vital role in helping anchor the Glens’ back line during their first season in the USL Premier Development League, now known as USL League Two.
“It means a lot,'' Boateng said shortly after being drafted. ''The Glens have been like a home now to me. The people have rallied behind us and it means the world.''
