In 2019, Real Salt Lake captain Kyle Beckerman’s age started to show a little bit. He played a major role on the field and is indisputably still an incredibly valuable part of our roster, but he’s still a 37 year old center midfielder who was in his 20th season as a professional. This was the first season since 2009 that Beckerman started fewer than 25 matches of the 34.
Beckerman didn’t necessarily have a bad year; he notched 5 assists, his highest since 2013 and his third highest assist count since joining RSL.
