The New York Red Bulls have exercised the option on Anatole Abang’s contract, extending the forward’s time with the club to a fifth year.
Abang spent nearly two full years - about half his tenure with RBNY to date - on loan, occasionally to nowhere, returning to the Red Bulls at the close of the last summer transfer window. Since being allowed back to a team that mostly wouldn’t talk about where he was or what he was doing between the Augusts of 2016 and 2018, Abang has played no minutes at all for the RBNY first team.
