SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake announced on Wednesday that they have signed veteran midfielder Scott Caldwell from free agency to a two-year contract.
Scott Caldwell joins Real Salt Lake after spending nine seasons with the New England Revolution as a homegrown player.
“We have long admired Scott for his quality on the field and professional approach to the game,” RSL General Manager Elliot Fall said. When he became a free agent this year, he was a natural target for our club. He brings another excellent option to our midfield, as well as long-term experience in a proven, winning environment.”
During his nine seasons with New England, Caldwell played in 229 regular season matches with 175 starts. He recorded five goals and 18 assists. Caldwell also has 13 matches with 10 starts in the MSL Cup Playoffs, posting two assists.
Bringing more talent to the midfield.
Welcome to SLC, @scaldwell15!

Real Salt Lake also signed goalkeeper Gavin Beavers as a homegrown player.
“In Gavin’s brief time at our club, he has established himself as an elite goalkeeping prospect. His shot-stopping ability and top-end athleticism are off-the-charts for a player at his age. In adding Gavin to our roster of young goalkeepers, we are very well-positioned at the position for years to come,” Fall said.
Make that No. 30!
We are bringing Gavin Beavers up to the first team on a Homegrown contract.
