Ian Joy to Join RSL


Real Salt Lake is trying to build their defense up before Friday’s SuperDraft. According to this article on MLSnet (near the bottom) RSL is about to sign Ian Joy(left) from FC St. Pauli of the 2. Bundesliga.

Kinda a random piece of information in that article to throw out there for the readers. Joy is American born so there would be no roster implications for RSL for him to join. He would add some stablity to their back-line, which is still one of the worst in the league.

Joy, 26, is still realtively young and should be able to start right away at left-back for RSL this season. This won’t be Joy’s first stop in the MLS, back in 2003 he had a brief, real brief stint with the Columbus Crew.
