By Sean McCaffery, March 17, 2018

He played great in the preseason, combining extremely well with Kaku, now he is in the fold, Amando Moreno has inked an USL contract following being waived by the New York Red Bulls, I fully expect him to get first team time this season. At just 22 he came to them in Jan. following 4 years of play in Mexico, seeing the field in 20 games netting 3 goals and an assist, then off to Dorados de Sinola in July of 2017 getting 5 games and one goal, the hometonw player out of Perth Amboy has a huge upside.
