Real Salt Lake Signs Liberian Forward Sam Johnson as a Designated Player

HERRIMAN, Utah (Monday, February 4, 2019) – Real Salt Lake has signed Liberian FW Sam Johnson as a Designated Player after a transfer from Valerenga in Norway’s first division. He will join RSL in training camp and occupy an international roster slot pending receipt of his ITC and P1 visa.

“I’m ready for a new challenge in MLS. A lot of clubs came for me, but Real Salt Lake put more effort than the other clubs. I spoke with my advisor, I spoke with mom and some people who follow MLS closely and it was an easy decision for me,” Johnson said.
