The New York Red Bulls’ Derrick Etienne Jr., who helped the New York Red Bulls II claim the 2016 USL Cup, was named on Tuesday in Haiti’s 30-player preliminary squad that will prepare to face Nicaragua for a place at the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

The home-and-home series between the two countries kicks off on March 24 in Haiti, and concludes on March 28 in Nicaragua. The winner will earn the final place at the Gold Cup, and be placed in a group alongside the United States, Panama and Martinique.

Etienne made his second appearance for the Red Bulls this past Sunday as the side took a 2-1 victory against Atlanta United FC in the opening weekend of the 2017 MLS season. Etienne recorded five goals and six assists last season for the Red Bulls II in the USL, and also scored in the USL Cup Final as New York defeated the Swope Park Rangers.

The 20-year-old was also named as the No. 3 player in the 2016 USL 20 Under 20, while this past January he scored his first goal for the Grenadiers in a 4-3 victory against Trinidad & Tobago in Caribbean qualifying for the Gold Cup.
