Story
A native of Henderson, Nevada, Bailey joined New Mexico United in August, 2023, and helped guide the team to an unlikely playoff appearance in his first year.
Bailey has made 46 appearances in the Black & Yellow since his arrival during the 2023 season from San Antonio FC. In that time, he’s scored three goals, and assisted three more. Two of those tallies came in United’s emphatic 4-2 victory over MLS Western Conference leaders Real Salt Lake in the 2024 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 32. Those goals came just two minutes apart.
Bailey’s 85.6% passing accuracy was among the best on the club in 2024. Defensively, he was second on the team in tackles and tackles won, as he was crucial to United’s transition from defense to attack throughout the year.
