FK Austria Wien has announced the signing of United States Men’s National Team centerback Erik Palmer-Brown on a season long loan from Manchester City.
Sporting Director Ralf Muhr spoke highly of the 22-year-old and suggested that he could have an important role to play, at least in the short term, given the injuries to centerbacks Christian Schoissengeyr and Aleksandar Borkovic.
Palmer-Brown spent last season on loan with NAC Breda (Eredivisie), making eighteen appearances and scoring one goal. NAC was relegated after finishing last and conceding seventy-four goals in thirty-four games.
