Real Salt Lake has re-signed midfielder Everton Luiz to a one-year deal, bringing back the veteran Brazilian after his contract expired.
Luiz, 33, played in 25 regular season matches, nearing his 2019 mark of 27. During that period, he earned seven yellow cards, with two following in his two matches in the postseason. He was suspended for Real Salt Lake’s Western Conference Final loss to Portland Timbers, and his absence was keenly felt.
From a club-issued release, RSL general manager Elliot Fall:
“We are very excited to bring Everton back to RSL for his fourth season in Utah.
