“Tony is part of the fiber of this club,” RSL general manager Craig Waibel said in a news release. “Even as our roster evolves with a young core in place, it’s important to have players like Tony who are more than capable in their positions and excellent leaders in the locker room as well.”
Beltran missed the entire 2018 season due to his recovery from a knee injury. While he did not play a single minute for RSL, he did appear on the reserve list in the team’s final game of the season, signaling that he had made a full recovery.
