HARRISON, N.J. – The New York Red Bulls II announced on Friday the club had signed Red Bulls Academy product Noah Powder to a USL contract. Powder's registration is complete and he will be available for selection this Saturday, when NYRB II hosts the Charlotte Independence at MSU Soccer Park.

"It's great to have Noah back in the mix," said NYRB II Head Coach John Wolyniec. "We're excited to have him with the team. Noah's been a part of the academy and played with us last year, so we feel really good about having him back and hopefully I can help him get to the next level."

Powder, a native of Maplewood, N.J., featured heavily for NYRB II in 2016 as an amateur, playing a total of 1,261 minutes across 20 matches, while scoring two goals for the USL side en route to a USL Cup title.
