Dutch defender of Ghanaian descent Johan Kappelhof has signed a one-year deal with MLS outfit Real Salt Lake.
Kappelhof, 31, spent six years at Chicago Fire before leaving last month and he has now been snapped up by the Claret.
Already boasting of 147 MLS appearances, Kappelhof is expected to use his experience to bring stability to the back of Pablo Mastroeni’s side.
“We’re excited to welcome Johan to Real Salt Lake,” technical director Kurt Schmid said in a release. “Johan’s experience in Major League Soccer speaks for itself and adds value to our roster. His veteran presence and understanding of what it takes to compete in this league will only enhance the competition within our roster, specifically our backline.”
He previously played for Ajax Amsterdam as well as FC Gronningen.
