Sekagya mainly featured in the center of defense for New York's sister club, Red Bull Salzburg of the Austrian Bundesliga. He featured in a total of 165 games for Salzburg and scored six goals.

"We are delighted to sign Ibrahim and we are sure his experience will strengthen our options in defense," said Red Bulls Sporting Director Andy Roxburgh.
