Former #RBNY midfielder Florian Valot is leaving Loudoun United after two seasons.
I still expect the soon to be 33 year old to get offers from USL clubs. Maybe Denis Hamlett will bring him to Connecticut United FC for their first MLS NEXT Pro season.

New York Red Bulls seem to be officially switching to Red Bull New York. It’s been named this internally for years. Look at #RBNY. I think they tried this back in 06 and it failed.
Much like Sports Illustrated Stadium and Red Bull Arena I don’t think everyone will switch.
