Herriman • One of the themes for Real Salt Lake’s 2018 season has been its youth. The majority of the roster is under 30 years old, several are still in their early 20s.
But with RSL’s signing of Nedum Onuoha on Friday, the team brought another veteran voice to the locker room. And while he’s only been in Utah for about a week, Onuoha is already making an impact.
“So far, you can see the leadership and a great personality,” midfielder Albert Rusnák said Tuesday after a training session.
Head coach Mike Petke said Onuoha, who last played with the Queens Park Rangers, a member of the English Football League Championship, has been pulling his new teammates aside for one-on-one conversations, and has gotten more comfortable speaking during training sessions.
