New York Red Bulls Homegrown defender Connor Lade will miss the rest of the 2016 season due to a torn ACL. Lade suffered the right knee injury in New York's 2-2 draw at Los Angeles Sunday night.

Lade will undergo surgery later this month.

The Homegrown defender was in the midst of his best season yet as a professional in 2016 for the Red Bulls. Lade, a native of Morristown, NJ, has made 20 appearances and 16 starts for New York this season across all competitions.

He scored his first MLS goal on July 13, the game-winner against Orlando City SC. The defender has made more appearances than any other Homegrown Player in club history, with 73 regular season games played.
