Hurtado, 19, joined Watford in January before heading to Colombia’s Independiente Medellin on a six-month loan. He began his professional career at Real Cartegena in 2021.

“Jorge is a promising talent that we are excited to add to our team,” Red Bulls head coach Troy Lesesne said. “We believe he has the qualities to succeed in MLS and help us push towards our goals this season.”
