Red Bulls sign Perrinelle, loan Lade, Christianson

As has been reported and discussed elsewhere, the Red Bulls have inked Damien Perrinelle to a contract and loaned Ian Christianson to Orlando City and Connor Lade to the Cosmos.

Christianson's loan was made official Friday and is reportedly a move to give the sophomore defensive midfielder a chance to get match fit ahead of the CONCACAF Champions League.

Lade's loan is similar, with the Red Bulls able to call the left-sided player back at any point during the loan.

The move for Perrinelle looks to be for depth, as the Frenchman can play either right back or center back.
