Real Salt Lake didn’t just stumble on Connor Sparrow by happenstance after a 2017 season with Real Monarchs, but it’s easy to forget that.
It’s so easy, in fact, that I kept forgetting that myself. Sparrow, after all, didn’t just join the organization at the beginning of the year. The long-haired wonder was actually first picked up in an official capacity by the first team in January 2016, when he was selected as the team’s final selection in the 2016 MLS Draft.
Sparrow, then 21, wasn’t expected to feature for RSL at the time.
