Midfielder Pablo Ruiz has been signed a contract extension with Real Salt Lake, the club announced Sunday morning. The deal is set to keep the Argentine-Chilea at RSL until 2025.
Ruiz has been a bright spot for RSL in a difficult season. He originally signed with RSL in 2018, but was not a regular part of the team. He played with USL-side Real Monarchs before signing a load deal that took him to the Austrian third division with FC Pinzgau Saalfelden. He returned to Utah and quickly became a regular part of head coach Freddy Juarez’s starting XI.
