In the latest of roster moves to be announced during the current Major League Soccer primary transfer window, Real Salt Lake has signed 19-year-old MF Moses Nyeman via loan from SK Beveren (Belgian A2) through the 2023 calendar year, with an option to purchase, the Utah-based Club announced.
Nyeman, 19, joined Beveren last August, following four seasons with both Loudoun United (USL Championship) and D.C. United (MLS) from 2019-22. Nyeman scored three goals in eight appearances in 2019 with the U.S. U-16 and U-17 teams – yet also remains eligible to appear for his country of birth, Liberia – due to the unofficial nature of his U.S. matches. Late in the 2019 season, Nyeman signed his first professional contract with D.C.’s USL side, Loudoun United, for which he scored once in 15 appearances during the 2019 season. In October, 2019, Nyeman became D.C. United’s second-youngest signing ever, as a 15-year-old homegrown.
“My arrival to RSL has been a breath of fresh air, I’ve really enjoyed the welcome that my teammates and the club have provided,” said Nyeman on his way back from Arizona with RSL, who played four preseason matches in Phoenix and Tucson prior to Saturday’s return to Utah. “I see that everything from our coaching staff to the boys and through to our second team is well-managed for our group success. I’m looking forward to continuing to work hard here, getting to know our fans and the community-at-large.”
