Thierry Henry signs with New York Red Bulls

OMG I am so excited!

From USA Today:

France striker Thierry Henry joined the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday in a move that echoed David Beckham's decision to turn his back on Europe for a new career in the United States.

The 32-year-old former Arsenal and Barcelona signed a "multi-year" deal, becoming the Major League Soccer club's second designated player.

He was a free agent after being released by Barcelona last month with a year remaining on his contract, having scored just four goals last season as he slipped out of the Spanish championship-winning team.

Like Beckham, who moved to Los Angeles Galaxy from Real Madrid in 2007, Henry was keen to play down suggestions the move was motivated by money or a desire to play in what is regarded as a less competitive league.

"This marks an exciting new chapter in my career and life," Henry said Wednesday.
