Thierry Henry leaves New York Red Bulls

Thierry Henry confirmed on Monday that he has played his final game for the New York Red Bulls.

“On behalf of the New York Red Bulls I would like to thank Thierry Henry for the incredible impact he has made on both our organization and the American soccer community as a whole,” the Red Bulls general manager, Marc de Grandpre said. “He is truly one of the all-time great talents and will forever hold a special place within the organisation’s history. We wish Thierry all the best for his future.”

The 37-year-old’s final match was a 2-2 draw on Saturday which meant the Red Bulls were beaten 4-3 on aggregate by New England Revolution in the Eastern Conference Championship play-off.

“The decision has always been that I would leave after the duration of my contract,” Frenchman Henry said.

Henry signed for the Red Bulls in July 2010 and has made a huge contribution on the field – he is their second all-time leading scorer – while helping boost their profile off it. In total, he scored 51 goals in 122 appearances for the team.
