Red Bulls add ex-Hamburg goalkeeper Rost as third DP

German international GK played nearly 20 years in Bundesliga

After hinting all season they had no intentions of signing a third Designated Player, the New York Red Bulls did just that on Wednesday morning with the announcement that German goalkeeper Frank Rost will join the club.

Rost comes to MLS with 20 years of experience in the Bundesliga and is being counted on to settle down what has been an unstable goalkeeper situation in the last two months.

The 38-year old Rost has been capped four times by the German national team and has made more than 400 appearances in league action during his career.
