Pedaling away on the stationary bike, James Moberg watches over as a group of teenagers and early 20-somethings take to the pitch for training. There is an air of newness and change, it’s a far cry from his rookie days, but it’s still home.
Prior to the start of the season the Real Salt Lake front office made the decision to switch directions with the Real Monarchs, electing to sign young internationals and Real Salt Lake Academy players, as opposed to the previous formula that included veterans from the USL Championship.
Moberg is just one of three holdovers during the transition, and the only to sign a new contract.
