The New York Red Bulls filled a major void in their sporting department Thursday, announcing the signing of Paul Fernie as the club’s head scout.
Fernie was most recently the head of recruitment for SV Wehen Wiesbaden in Germany, where he oversaw all aspects of scouting and recruitment. He joins Natasha Patel, who was hired in October as the club’s head of performance analysis as the newest members of the expanding sporting staff.
”We’re pleased to add Paul to our staff,” Red Bulls sporting director Denis Hamlett said in a statement. “Paul has progressed through a variety of experiences in player analysis and scouting and has helped several clubs define their scouting profiles to better identify players that fit their distinct style and club philosophy.
