The New York Red Bulls Friday signed three players with long-standing Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association backgrounds.

The new signings included Michael Palacio and forwards Chris Megaloudis and Ricky Schramm. They have signed contracts with MLS to play for the Red Bulls.

Palacio, who played for BW Gottschee and ENYYSA ODP,  was selected in the second round (21st overall) in the supplemental draft. He was a three-time selection on the America East first team and was named to the All-Northeast region second team in his junior season. In 2007, the Long Beach, L.I. product recorded four goals and six assists for the Seawolves as they earned a 9-7-3 record. He is Stony Brook’s all-time leader in assists.

Megaloudis joined the Red Bulls on trial in January. The 24-year-old from Queens and Puerto Rican international attended Stony Brook University from 2004-05 before joining the Long Island Rough Riders (Premier Development League) in 2006.   He also played in the ENYYSA ODP program.

Megaloudis has also enjoyed a stint with the Westchester Flames. He scored his first international goal for Puerto Rico against Trinidad and Tobago Jan. 28.

Schramm, 22, was also invited to Red Bulls camp in January. The former Georgetown University and F.C. Westchester standout started in two games for the Red Bulls reserves last year, scoring two goals. Prior to that, Schramm enjoyed a stint with the Richmond Kickers of the United Soccer Leagues Second Division in 2007. He was originally drafted by D.C. United in the third round (37th overall) of the 2007 SuperDraft before being waived.
