SANDY, Utah (Wednesday, February 3, 2016) – Real Salt Lake General Manager Craig Waibel announced on Tuesday that the club has acquired DF Chris Wingert off of waivers from New York City FC. Per league and team policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.
“There are a lot of reasons bringing Chris Wingert back to Real Salt Lake makes sense. His versatility brings depth and strengthens every position on our back line and he is a solid veteran leader that can mix well with the team,” Waibel said. “As we build the team for this season, we want to make sure we get the culture of the locker room right and with Chris we know that he adds a very positive influence.
