How Bradley Wright-Phillips Made It Through The MLS.

Bradley Wright-Phillips wasnt your typical European player making the move to Major League Soccer when he left his native England for New York five years ago.

He was 28 at the time and just one year removed from a high-scoring season that helped Charlton earn promotion to the League Championship.

What he discovered was a league that exceeded his expectations, a team that helped him re-discover his best form and a city and country that have become the kind of home that has made it easy for him to plant roots and avoid the desire to go back to England.

I didnt like where my mind was football wise, Wright-Phillips told Goal.

Five years and more than 100 goals later, Wright-Phillips is rated as one of the best players in MLS history, He has set several records during his six seasons with the New York Red Bulls, from scoring 100 goals in fewer matches than any player before him, to becoming the first MLS player to score at least 15 goals in five straight seasons.
