In a move that feels a bit out of left field, Real Salt Lake announced this morning that they’ve signed a new goalkeeper: 16-year-old academy prospect Jeff Dewsnup.
Dewsnup, from Herriman, has been signed to a homegrown deal.
One imagines it will be some time before Dewsnup sees minutes, with three goalkeepers already on the roster. Still, one never knows.
Quotes from the official RSL press release follow.
RSL coach Freddy Juarez
“He’s a very talented goalkeeper and we had a specific plan for him. We will continue to work with him to make sure he continues on that path to the first team.
