Red Bulls waive midfielder/forward Doe

---

Secaucus, NJ (Sports Network) - Red Bull New York waived midfielder/forward Francis Doe on Friday.

Doe, 22, had two goals and one assist in eight games - four starts - in 2007. The 5-8, 150-pound Liberian was signed by New York in August.

"After evaluating our roster over the course of the preseason, we feel that we have solid depth at forward and thought that it would be beneficial to part ways," New York Sporting Director Jeff Agoos said.

Prior to joining the Red Bulls, Doe was with Greek Super League side Atromitos FC for two years. During his time there, he played in 34 league games, scoring eight times.

Doe was also with USL First Division side Minnesota Thunder in 2004 and 2005. He started his career at Ghanaian club Buduburam FC.

On the international level, Doe played for Liberia during the 2006 World Cup qualifiers as well as in the 2008 African Cup qualifying stages.

The Red Bulls host Columbus in their season opener April 5.
