"We are excited to add Anthony to our club," said desperate-for-left-backs Red Bulls sporting director Ali Curtis. "Anthony has experience in MLS and performed well in preseason camp with the team. His style of play and the type of person he is fits what we are looking to establish with our organization."

Wallace started his MLS career with Dallas in 2007 and moved to Colorado in 2010. He appeared in 38 matches in his eight seasons in the league, before spending 2014 was with Tampa Bay of the NASL.

Wallace played for the USA at the 2007 U-20 World Cup. He has one cap for the senior national team, coming against Chile in 2011.
