SECAUCUS, NJ (July 16, 2009) - Red Bull New York announced today that it has signed midfielder Ernst Ãbster. Ãbster will join the Red Bulls' roster after he has passed a physical and the club has received his P-1 visa approval.

The 25-year old joins New York from sister club Red Bull Salzburg. Ãbster began his career with Salzburg in 2001 and has played for the first team as well as the Red Bull Junior with the exception of the 2003-04 season, when he played on loan for LASK Linz.
