Aaron Herrera of the University of New Mexico men’s soccer team has signed a professional contract with Real Salt Lake of MLS, the club announced today.
Herrera just completed his third season for the Lobos, lead the team with five goals and five assists during the 2017 campaign and briefly was moved up top from his natural right back position in an effort to stimulate a stagnant Lobo attack. In his three seasons at UNM, he appeared in 54 matches, scoring seven goals and tallying eight assists. Prior to the 2017 season, Herrera was a member of the United States Men’s National Team that appeared in the Under-20 World Cup.
