The New York Red Bulls have loaned defender Gideon Baah to New York Red Bulls II of the United Soccer League, the club announced today. Baah will join the club's USL affiliate for the remainder of the season.

"Gideon has made slow but steady progress, and we are pleased to see him ready to re-join game action," said Red Bulls Sporting Director Denis Hamlett. "One of the benefits of having our USL and MLS teams work so closely together is the ability to keep players in our environment, under the care of our staff in situations like this."

Baah, 25, was placed on MLS season-ending injury reserve ahead of the 2017 season after suffering a broken leg in the Summer of 2016.

The Accra, Ghana native appeared in nine games for the Red Bulls in 2016, his first season with the club.
