Red Bulls get redder with Rojas

According to the New York Post, the New York Red Bulls have signed Venezuelan national team captain Jorge Rojas.

Red Bulls Sporting Director Jeff Agoos confirmed the signing and told The Post that the team awaits the results of a physical and the approval of the league.

The 31-year-old Rojas is considered one of the top players in Venezuela, and has made 82 appearances for the country's national team. But despite his success for the Venezuelan national team, he has been a bit of a journeyman over his 10-year career, playing for seven clubs in three countries. In 2003, while with Ecuadorean juggernaut Emelec, Rojas was voted top foreign player in the league. He won the 2005 Apertura Championship with Atletico Nacional in Colombia and amassed four league titles (in three separate stints) with Venezuelan club Caracas.

Rojas, who is an offensive midfielder, can play centrally or on the wing, depending on the formation. In any case, he might provide a decent solution for the Reyna-less Red Bull midfield.

In other league news, Colorado waived midfielder Rafael Gomes and no one cares.
