Ojeda has appeared in 30 games for Real Salt Lake this year across all competitions. He started in 25 of those games.
“Braian has established himself both as an instrumental piece of our current group and a key building block for our club moving forward,” said General Manager Elliot Fall. “We are thrilled to be able to make his transfer permanent, and we look forward to his continued growth and development in Salt Lake.”
In his career with RSL, Ojeda has posted 2 assists, 23 shots (four on goal), and an 83.6% accurate pass percentage.
