HARRISON, N.J. - The New York Red Bulls II on Tuesday announced roster decisions as the club begins its preparations for the 2022 USL Championship season

NYRB II exercised the contract options of midfielders Jeremy Rafanello, Steven Sserwadda, and Michael Knapp. Defender Curtis Ofori will enter the second year of his contract in 2022.

Additionally, the club is in discussion to bring back defenders Juan Castillo and Lamine Conte for the 2022 season.

"We look forward to adding more depth in quality to compliment the current group as we strive to be in contention for the playoffs and improve in all areas moving forward. We would like to thank the players who have moved on for all of their hard work and commitment to the club and we wish them nothing but success for the future."

Forward Omar Sowe and goalkeeper AJ Marcucci, who started the season as NYRB II players, signed MLS contracts in September.
