A More Mature Donny Toia Returns for a Second Stint with Real Salt Lake

This week was an eventful one for Donny Toia.

The 26-year-old defender started the week not knowing what his future held as a professional soccer player after his contract was declined by Orlando City SC, his sixth club in eight professional seasons. He was awaiting his fate in Friday’s Re-Entry Draft to determine where the next stop would be, but also awaiting the arrival of his first child with his wife Courtney.

On Wednesday, he became a father with the birth of his daughter, Payton Kay Toia, and couldn’t help but brag about his new arrival.

“She’s adorable,” he beamed.
