SALT LAKE CITY, UT, March 12, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Drafted 29th overall by Real Salt Lake, Devon Sandoval's rookie year was full of professional highlights including a goal against New England Revolution and scoring 3 goals in the US Open Cup. After such a successful year, Devon became tied for the all-time leader in goals for RSL in the Open Cup.
During the Western Conference finals of the same year, Devon sustained an injury that made it impossible for him to play during the start of his second year. After missing the first four games of the season, Devon helped bring RSL the win against Colorado, but struggled to fully contribute to his team. As a result, Devon was loaned out to the Carolina Railhawks where you played 5 games and scored 3 goals to finish off his second year.
Despite his injury, Devon has worked hard to overcome career setbacks, shed excuses, and improve himself as a team member; something that Gnarly Nutrition looks for in all of their athletes. Gnarly Brand Manager, Eli Kerr, said, "He is a phenomenal soccer player, athlete and person - a perfect fit for our team. He recognizes that what he puts into his body directly affects his play on and off the field."
