Patryk Klimala scores first goal for New York as Celtic flop aims to revive career in MLS

Former Celtic striker Patryk Klimala has scored his first goal for new club New York Red Bulls as the Hoops flop aims to revive his career in Major League Soccer.

The Hoops paid Jagiellonia Białystok a sizeable fee of £3.5million for Klimala's services back in January 2020 but the 22-year-old struggled to adapt to Scottish football and managed just three goals in 28 appearances.

The Celtic hierarchy accepted a bid from Red Bull's New York-based side in April, with Klimala drawing a swift end to his disappointing spell in Glasgow after agreeing a lucrative deal to move to America.

As we told you previously, Klimala managed to secure himself a pretty impressive $22,000 weekly wage with the MLS side, and it looks like he's determined to restore his new employers' faith.

In yesterday's 3-2 defeat away to New England Revolution, Klimala provided an ice-cool finish that hints at his potential:

Klimala and New York Red Bulls currently find themselves in 8th position in the MLS Eastern Conference, with just four wins from their opening nine games so far this season.
