RSL’s Corey Baird wants to prove he can be a starter

Herriman • Corey Baird hadn’t scored a goal in over a month. Before that, he hadn’t scored since early July.

But when the homegrown Real Salt Lake rookie forward scored RSL’s lone goal off Jefferson Savarino’s pass in the ninth minute of Sunday’s draw against Sporting Kansas City, he showed how capable he can be on the attack.

“Just good to be able to get back out there and prove to [coach] Mike [Petke] once again that I’m capable of being a starter, and when I come in I can make an impact,” Baird said Tuesday after training.
