The New York Red Bulls announced Friday the signing of Norway striker Fredrik Gulbrandsen on a year-long loan out of Red Bull Salzburg.

The 24-year-old has thrice been capped with Norway and brings with him 34 goals and 13 assists in 144 professional appearances.

"We are excited to welcome Fredrik to New York for the season," Red Bulls sporting director Denis Hamlett said in a club-issued statement. "He is a player we are familiar with and we think his attributes will be a good fit in our system.

"His familiarity with the Red Bull style of soccer means that we expect him to assimilate quickly into our group."

Gulbrandsen will compete with Bradley Wright-Phillips, Brandon Allen, and Anatole Abang for a spot up top in Jesse Marsch's side.
