Emery Welshman, to put it simply, is a real success story of Major League Soccer’s partnership with USL. The talented attacker was signed in January before the 2016 campaign started. Bouncing around since 2013 after being released from his hometown club, Toronto FC, the strong, fast forward was added to Real Salt Lake as a depth piece.
Welshman’s contribution to the Claret-and-Cobalt was delayed after the 25 year-old was sidelined due to injury. The hip issue was addressed mid-season when Welshman underwent a successful surgery, and six weeks later he underwent a second surgery on his leg.
