The injury-plagued veteran has earned a contract with Real Salt Lake after a successful stretch playing for the club's USL affiliate.
Real Salt Lake announced the signing of veteran Chris Schuler on Thursday, with the defender earning an MLS recall after a stint with the club's USL affiliate.
The 28-year-old has been a part of the Salt Lake organization since 2010, making 90 MLS appearances and starting the 2013 MLS Cup final.
But Schuler played just five matches last season, undergoing surgery on his right knee in April and an operation on his left foot in September.
