Australian Midfielder Tim Cahill Leaving Red Bulls

HARRISON, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Tim Cahill and the New York Red Bulls are parting ways.

The Major League Soccer team announced Monday that the Australian midfielder, 35, will not return for the upcoming season.

The former Everton star signed with New York as a designated player in July 2012, and he played a major role the following season in helping the Red Bulls win the Supporter's Shield, scoring seven of his 11 goals with two assists in the final 11 games.

The all-time leading goal scorer for Australia, Cahill hopes to announce his future plans soon.
