2022 Player Profiles: Erik Holt
Erik Holt came into 2022 in his fourth season with Real Salt Lake. The coaching staff typically deployed Holt as a lock-down substitute off the bench, but he did get a string of starts towards the beginning of the campaign when RSL was a bit depleted due to injury. When he got fairly consistent minutes at the start of the year, he was pretty decent with not too many errors to speak of and helped the team pile up some surprising results that had them toward the top of the table early on.
Once RSL’s back line started to get healthy, his minutes took a dip. In fact, he played in eight less games in 2022 than he did in 2021 and almost 800 less minutes.
