SALT LAKE CITYReal Salt Lake and Emeka Eneli agreed on a contract extension that goes through the 2028 season with an option in 2029.

The second-year midfielder has emerged as an integral part of Real’s attack and defense in 2024.

RSL selected Eneli with the 25th overall pick in the 2023 MLS SuperDraft.

He played in 21 games with 13 starts in his rookie year. He did not record any goals or assists but attempted three shots with one on goal.

Through 24 games played in 2024, he has one goal and three assists with a 91.8 percent pass accuracy.

Earlier this year, he made club history as the youngest captain at just 24 years old.

With Andres Gomez’s transfer to the French Ligue 1, Eneli and other members of Real’s attacking unit will likely see an uptick in production during the second half of the MLS season.
