Real Salt Lake continued firming up their roster for 2023, with two re-signings emerging yesterday. Erik Holt and Tomas Gomez, both backup options at the club, signed new deals.
Holt’s deal was the more notable of the two, with the center back signing a three-year extension with an option year. Holt emerged as an important figure near the start of 2022, but a plantar fascia tear saw him miss significant time. When he returned to the side and began playing minutes again, he was at the center of a bad run of play against Vancouver Whitecaps after coming on as a late substitute, and he was henceforth relegated to Real Monarchs.
