Tim Cahill buzzing for New York Red Bulls challenge

Tim Cahill has said that he is relishing the challenge of playing in Major League Soccer with the New York Red Bulls.

The 32-year-old ended a hugely successful eight-year spell at Everton last week to sign for the Red Bulls for a fee of around £1m.

Australian international Cahill sees the move as an important step in his career.

"As a footballer, I've achieved a hell of a lot in my career, but I feel this is a big move for me.

"I know a lot of people might think otherwise, but I'm 32 years old. I respect MLS. I'm coming here at this age because I'm fit and I'm ready for a new challenge."

Cahill is expected to make his debut for New York in a friendly against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday.
