Sebastian Velasquez is coming back to the Salt Lake Valley, but not for Real Salt Lake: He’s signing with USL side Real Monarchs.
Velasquez, 25, signed with Real Salt Lake out of Spartanburg Methodist College in 2012, playing at the club for three years and becoming an important part of the 2013 run to MLS Cup.
In fact, Velasquez scored the goal that helped lift RSL over LA Galaxy in the 2013 Western Conference semi-final, bringing RSL level at an aggregate 1-1 scoreline in the second leg of that match. RSL went on to win 2-1 after extra time in that match.
