A new role is nothing new at all for Brandt Bronico.
The versatile 24-year-old -- a midfielder by trade -- earned his first start at right back in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Real Salt Lake at SeatGeek Stadium, playing 90 minutes and proving himself effective in both the offensive and defensive phases of the game.
Head coach Veljko Paunoviu0107, impressed by Bronico’s effort at the position over the final 10 minutes of the Club’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match in St. Louis on June 11, offered the 24-year-old a shot at getting more comfortable with the role going forward.
