The right full back position has been a problem for New York City F.C. and after Andoni Iraola‘s injury prone body, no one could solidify the position. Last season, NYCFC left it up to 18-year old Angelino and did a decent job.
However this year, that position solely belongs to RJ Allen as his recent emergence has caught the eyes of Patrick Vieira. The New Jersey native has had an impressive run this year with seven starts, more than half from last year.
He scored his first career goal this past April against the Montreal Impact and was named Player of the Month for May.
