From the time he signed with the Real Monarchs last spring, defender Chris Schuler's goal has been to get himself back into Major League Soccer.
Mission accomplished.
Real Salt Lake has reached an agreement to bring the talented but oft-injured center back to the first team, according to a source with knowledge of the deal.
The 28-year-old defender has played nine games with the Monarchs, of the United Soccer League, this season and has impressed RSL officials with his play along the way.
Most importantly, Schuler has finally been healthy enough to play those games.
