Ambition drew Cahill to New York

The ambition shown by Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls drew Australian midfielder Tim Cahill to sign for the Major League Soccer side.

Cahill left Everton for the MLS, with the move subject to international clearance, where he will play alongside former Premier League players Thierry Henry and Teemu Tainio. They are currently top of the Eastern Conference and the 32-year-old is desperate to help his side claim what would be their first title.

"I am impressed with what the Red Bulls are trying to accomplish in MLS and within American soccer and I am looking forward to this new challenge. I will do everything I can to help bring New York its first MLS Cup," Cahill told the club's official website.
