Back in 2007, Kyle Beckerman was a central figure in the restructuring of Real Salt Lake as the club was built into one of the most consistent winners and accomplished clubs in MLS. The 2009 MLS Cup champions were captained by the rugged midfielder and he would go on to lead RSL to finals in the 2011 CONCACAF Champions League, 2013 U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup.
Now set to return for a 12th season with Salt Lake after re-signing with the Claret-and-Cobalt, he is as much a part of the fabric of the RSL locker room as he is a part of the Salt Lake City community that he has made his home.
