New signing Sean Johnson is counting down the days to January.
The goalkeeper, who was acquired from Atlanta United in Sunday’s half-day trade window, is looking forward to joining up with his new teammates when preseason gets under way in 2017.
The 27-year old admits he’s been impressed by what he’s seen of his new club from afar and is now looking forward to contributing to the cause.
Johnson told NYCFC.com: “I’m extremely pleased to join the club – for me, it’s exciting to open a new chapter in my career.
“From the outside looking in, playing against NYCFC over the past couple of seasons, the style of play really stands out as a reason I wanted to come here – I think learning from, and playing alongside, some of the best players, including the league’s MVP, is another really exciting thing for me.
