SECAUCUS, NJ (Nov. 22, 2010) – Red Bull New York announced today that it has acquired a third round 2011 MLS SuperDraft pick from the Portland Timbers in exchange for midfielder/defender Jeremy Hall.

"We want to thank Jeremy for his service to the club," said Red Bull New York General Manager and Sporting Director Erik Soler.
