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.
