HARRISON, N.J. - New York Red Bulls II have signed left back Allen Yanes to a USL contract, the club announced today. Yanes joins NYRB II after three seasons with Antigua Guatemala Fútbol Club.

Yanes, 20, born in Orange County, California, began with Antigua GFC in the 2015-16 season. During his tenure, Yanes tallied 63 starts, 73 appearances, 5,764 minutes played and one goal.
