Utah Royals FC announced today that they have acquired Brigham Young University graduate and Utah native Michele Vasconcelos from the Chicago Red Stars in exchange for $55,000 in allocation money.
“I’m thrilled to be able to do what I love in my hometown,” Vasconcelos said. “I grew up going to games at Rio Tinto Stadium, I even played my high school state finals there. I look forward to playing in front of my family and friends, as well as having the added support of my daughter. I am excited to be a part of the Royals and to contribute to the club and community.
