It was a somewhat poorly-kept secret, but Kyle Duncan’s future is finally set. The New York Red Bulls fullback whose MLS contract expires this winter has signed a pre-contract agreement to make a free transfer to KV Oostende in January.
The Belgian club is so excited about the signing, they went all the way back to the 90s for a reference to since-cancelled adult cartoon South Park as a clue to Kyle’s signing. Oostende, a provincial club from the slightly less funnily-named town of Ostend that has never won a trophy beyond second division promotion, currently sits 13th out of 18 teams in the Jupiler League first division and are likely to make the American international their first-choice right back.
