French football star Thierry Henry has signed for New York Red Bulls on a long-term deal, the US club announced on Wednesday.

The striker is expected to make his debut for the Red Bulls in a home friendly on July 22 against English Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur.

“It is without question that Thierry Henry is one of the most successful and recognisable soccer players over the past 15 years,” said Dietmar Beiersdorfer, head of Red Bull global soccer.

“We are thrilled that Thierry has decided to come to New York to help the Red Bulls compete for championships this year and for years to come. His international pedigree is second to none and he is a proven winner.”

Henry, who signed the “multi-year” contract after leaving Spanish champions Barcelona, added: “This marks an exciting new chapter in my career and life. It is an honour to play for the New York Red Bulls.

“I am fully aware of the team?s history and my sole goal during my time here is to help win the club its first championship.

“Knowing Red Bull?s significant commitment to soccer locally and internationally, I am confident that my teammates and I will succeed.”
