RSL signs Nigerian midfielder Stephen "Sunny" Sunday

Real Salt Lake has announced the signing of journeyman Nigerian midfielder Stephen "Sunny" Obayan Sunday in a bid to strengthen their midfield ahead of the 2016 season.

In a press release, RSL general manager Craig Waibel said that Sunny is intended to be a day-one contributor to the team.

"Sunny challenges the status quo. He’s going to force the coaching staff to make tough decisions and fore players to perform at a higher level. He’s a quality player that we think can contribute right away when he adjusts to the play in America," Waibel said. "He’s really active, physically adept and technically sound.
