Feb 20, 2023, 3:00 PM
SALT LAKE CITY – Real Salt Lake announced that it has signed Moses Nyeman via loan from SK Beveren of Belgian A2 through the rest of the 2023 calendar year.
The Major League Soccer club announced the addition of the midfielder on Monday, February 20.
RSL announced that the club has an option to purchase Nyeman’s rights.
“Moses has shown well during this preseason in Utah, and has assimilated well to the group dynamic the last several weeks,” Real Salt Lake general manager Elliot Fall said in a statement. “We believe the glut of MLS experience gained at such a young age at D.C. United and his brief time with Beveren, as well as his life journey from Liberia to the U.S. youth national team system, have brought him to a point where he can contribute here.”
Done deal.
