A product of the Real Salt Lake Academy in Arizona, Danilo Acosta joined RSL in December of 2015. Born in Honduras, but spending most of his youth here in Sandy playing for Aztex, La Rocca and Sparta up until he joined the academy.
At only 18-years-old there is still so much potential with a player of his skill set and ability. He is the type of player that the club hopes to be able to groom through the academy and Monarchs to eventually have play in the first team at Rio Tinto.
Before signing with RSL in December Acosta had committed to play for UCLA’s NCAA Division 1 program.
