Kasule, who also featured for the senior team (New York Red Bulls), this season, is the only New York Red Bulls 2 to make the Best Eleven.

After accumulating 27 league appearances, Kasule scored an impressive 17 goals and recorded six assists, a hugely excellent return.

It should be noted that he achieved the milestone in just a couple of months, as he joined the New York-based outfit just in March from Uganda Premier League side Wakiso Giants FC.

Kasule's excellence this season included clinching two MLS Next Pro Player of the Month awards for July and August.

After finishing third in the Northeast Division with 51 points in 28 matches, New York Red Bulls 2 qualified for the MLS Next Pro playoffs.

As a New York Red Bulls 2 player, Kasule earned his first-ever national senior team (Uganda Cranes) call in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Niger.
