Ream to return to NYRB after West Brom, Bolton trials

Tim Ream will be back with New York Red Bulls after his training stint in the UK this winter.

The 24-year old defender will arrive in England later this week ahead of trials with Premier League clubs West Bromwich Albion and Bolton Wanderers and although those two clubs think highly of him, his agent says that a return to New York is imminent.

"Both clubs have admired Tim for some time and it affords both parties a chance to see each other up close," Patrick McCabe told MLSsoccer.com.

"Roy Hodgson and Owen Coyle are top managers and, above all, this will be a good opportunity for Tim's professional development.

"But Red Bull has maintained that Tim is an important piece of the club for next season.

"Tim certainly is interested in moving to Europe but at the right time and under the right conditions. But he still needs to play regularly and Red Bull currently provides that.

"As he moves toward the end of his contract, I believe that there will be some interesting options for him in Europe in the future."
