The Red Bulls signed former Seton Hall midfielder Gordon Kljestan to a developmental contract today, waiving Queens product Kevin Mesa to make room.

“I was thrilled once I found out they were offering me a contract. It was a dream come true because I played at Seton Hall and I always followed the Red Bulls,” Kljestan said. “As a kid, the Galaxy was my team and then slowly, the Red Bulls became my team so I was happy (when I signed).”

Kljestan was a first-round supllemental pick by the Galaxy last year, starting six games for their reserves and logging 513 minutes. The 24-year-old had been on trial with the Red Bulls and started two reserve games before eventually being inked to a deal. He’s the brother of Chivas USA star and US National Team standout Sacha Kljestan.

“Gordon has impressed us since joining our team on trial a few weeks ago. We think that he can make a contribution to our squad and we’re excited to have him on board,” said Sporting Director Jeff Agoos.

Mesa had inked with the Red Bulls in March after practicing with them in the preseason. He played in four reserve games, but hadn’t made an appearance with the big club despite a host of injuries in the midfield, while developmental players Danleigh Borman, Luke Sassano and Chris Megaloudis all appeared.
