New York Red Bulls sign goalkeeper Ryan Meara

The Eastern Conference team adds a new shot-stopper who was drafted 31st overall last month.

The New York Red Bulls have announced the signing of goalkeeper Ryan Meara. Per league and club policy terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Ryan is a talented, young goalkeeper who we think can develop into a solid contributor,” said New York General Manager and Sporting Director Erik Soler. “We are happy to sign him to his first professional contract and are also content to bring in another local player to the first team.”

Meara, 21, was drafted 31st overall in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft out of Fordham University. In 74 appearance for Fordham, Meara registered 31 shutouts. He joins Jeremy Vuolo as the only other goalkeepr on the Red Bulls roster.
