Real Salt Lake picks homegrown player in re-entry draft

Toia, a left back who was signed in 2011 by RSL on its first-ever homegrown contact, spent last season with Orlando City. He played four games and started three.

“Donny is a player we have been following throughout his career and it’s great to bring back a product of our academy who has been able to gain valuable experience around the league,” general manager Craig Waibel said in a news release. “He is an experienced player who brings a good locker room presence and will add depth to our back line.”

“Donny Toia is a young player, but he’s also experienced,” head coach Mike Petke said in the release.
