Real Salt Lake has named a new director of the RSL Academy: Tom Spall, a former assessor and project manager who’s been working with the English Premier League and MLS.
His work in England came with the Elite Player Performance Plan, and in the U.S. and Canada, with Double PASS an auditor. He formerly worked as an academy coach at Barnsley FC and Sheffield United FC, and served in roles at Bottesford Town FC, Lincoln City FC and Scunthorpe United, all in England.
From a club-issued release, RSL assistant general manager Elliott Fall:
“We had a deep pool of well-qualified applicants and Tom stood out because of his impressive credentials and his extensive knowledge of Academies through his previous work with Doublepass.
