Zeiko Lewis could make his first appearance for the New York Red Bulls in a Major League Soccer pre-season friendly against Portland Timbers tonight.

The Bermuda winger was selected 17th overall by Eastern Conference champions Red Bulls at this month’s MLS SuperDraft in Los Angeles.

Lewis is the second Bermudian to join the MLS franchise behind Khano Smith, who made eight appearances for the club in 2009.

He is also the third member of his family behind grandfather Fred “Pinks” Lewis and great-uncle Eversley “Bo” Lewis to turn professional.

Before turning professional, Lewis enjoyed a stellar collegiate career at Boston College, earning All-Atlantic Coast Conference accolades in all four seasons he played.

He earned All-ACC First Team honours as a senior and was a three-times second team member. He also won ACC Freshman of the Year honours in 2013. As a senior, Lewis led Boston College with seven goals and five assists.

Tonight’s match, from Tucson, Arizona, will be streamed via the club’s website at 9.30pm.
