Two weeks ago, Bryce Duke signed with LAFC after spending the season with Barcelona Academy in Arizona.

On Wednesday, Duke's former Barca teammate Caden Clark joined him.

Clark signed a contract with New York Red Bulls II in the USL Championship, and the 16-year-old will officially begin his professional career.

“Caden is a young exciting player that we believe has a lot of potential within our system. We are really excited to start working with him and see how far we can push him in his development," NYRB II Head Coach John Wolyniec said in a statement. “He is a very smart player that has a high level of technical ability. He has a ton of energy and plays both sides of the ball. I think what we like most though is his mentality and how he plays with such courage.”
