SANDY, Utah (Monday, January 2, 2017) – Real Monarchs SLC brought a familiar face back to Rio Tinto Stadium on Monday with the signing of former Real Salt Lake MF Sebastian Velasquez, highlighting an announcement of three players who will join the Monarchs for the 2017 season. In addition, the third-year USL club signed former Portland Timbers DF Nick Besler and 19-year-old Ghanaian FW Charles Boateng, all pending league and federation approval.
“As we continue to build the Monarchs for the 2017 season, we see a lot of potential in the players we’ve added and these three players all add their own qualities to the style we are looking to play as an organization,” Real Salt Lake General Manager Craig Waibel said.
