New York Red Bulls, Tim Cahill mutually agree to end contract

Tim Cahill's time with the New York Red Bulls has come to an end.

The Australian, 35, joined the MLS club as a Designated Player ahead of the 2013 campaign. 

He scored 15 goals and recorded seven assists in two seasons, with his 12 tallies leading the team to the Supporter's Shield in his inaugural year.

"This decision was not made lightly, and it is the result of many conversations between our staff, Tim, and his agent," the club's sporting director, Ali Curtis, said. "After much deliberation, we have agreed that this decision is best for all involved. We thank Tim for his service to the organization. 

"He positively impacted the growth of the beautiful game in the United States, MLS and for the Red Bulls. We are pleased that Tim will continue to be an ambassador for Red Bull moving forward."
