Career

College and amateur

Lade grew up in the Convent Station section of Morris Township, New Jersey[1] and attended Morristown High School, where he received numerous accolades during his high school career.[2] In December 2007 he joined the New York Red Bulls Academy and in 2008 decided to attend St. John's University. Lade was a four-year starter for St. Johns and helped the Red Storm to the 2009 & 2011 Big East tournament title. Lade received the Defensive MVP award in the latter tournament.

During his time in college he remained with the Red Bulls Academy and was a member of the New York Red Bull NPSL squad.

Professional

Lade was signed by New York Red Bulls as a Home Grown Player on 5 December 2011.[3] Lade made his professional debut for New York on 14 April 2012 in a 2-2 draw with San Jose Earthquakes. On 29 May 2012 Lade scored his first goal for New York in a 3-0 victory over the Charleston Battery in the third round of the US Open Cup.[4]

After struggling for minutes during the 2014 MLS season, Lade was loaned to NASL club New York Cosmos on 28 July 2014.[5] Lade quickly established himself in the Cosmos lineup and appeared in 8 league matches for the club. Lade was recalled by the Red Bulls during the NASL season and on 22 October 2014 scored his lone goal of the season helping the Red Bulls to a 1-1 draw against Montreal Impact in a 2014-15 CONCACAF Champions League match. [6]

Lade was loaned to affiliate side New York Red Bulls II during the 2015 season and made his debut as a starter for the side on 4 April 2015 in a 4-1 victory over Toronto FC II, the first victory in club history.[7]Lade was primarily used as a reserve during the early part of the 2015 season, however an injury to Chris Duvall provided him an opportunity at right back. He received glowing remarks for his play on 9 August 2015 in a 2-0 derby victory over New York City FC by coach Jesse Marsch. [8]

International

During his college years Lade earned a call-up to the US U-20 national team camp, however he did not make any appearances for the team.

On 6 January 2013, Connor was called up to the U.S. national senior team.[9]
