"Red Bull was able to deal from a deeper portion of its roster in the midfield Carmona was unlikely to get much playing time behind the likes of Emil Forsberg and Gustav Berggren to bring on another defender. In the last two months, New York parted ways with three significant center-backs: They cut ties with Alexander Haak, Sean Nealis to DC United, and their No. 1 option, Noah Eile, to Bristol City of the English Championship."
"The 21-year-old Canadian defender, who came up through Toronto FC's academy, made 39 combined MLS appearances for Montreal and Charlotte FC, with whom he was on loan for the 2025 season. It was during the previous campaign that he got a call-up to the Canadian national team for friendlies against Romania and Wales in September. He was invited to Canada's national team camp in January, which continues to bode well for his chances of cracking the roster for this summer's World Cup."
"While they signed Sporting Kansas City veteran Robert Voloder, right-back Dylan Nealis is being called upon by first-year head coach Michael Bradley to shift to the middle of the back line. American right-back Justin Che, who is just 22, was signed from Danish side Brnby. Marshall-Rutty will likely line up opposite him on the left side. Raheem Edwards and Matthew Dos Santos remain as depth options on the wing."
Red Bull New York is finalizing a trade sending midfielder Wiki Carmona to CF Montreal for 21-year-old wingback Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty. Marshall-Rutty came through Toronto FC's academy and made 39 MLS appearances for Montreal and Charlotte FC while on loan in 2025. He earned Canadian call-ups for friendlies against Romania and Wales and attended national team camp in January, boosting World Cup prospects. New York’s defense is in flux after parting with Alexander Haak, Sean Nealis and Noah Eile. The club signed Robert Voloder and Justin Che while Dylan Nealis shifts centrally. Marshall-Rutty is expected to start at left wingback as the club pursues another center-back.
