Real Salt Lake have announced that veteran defender Chris Wingert has re-signed with the club for the upcoming season.

"We brought Chris back last season to bring depth to every position on our back line and provide a veteran presence in the locker room," Real Salt Lake general manager Craig Waibel said in a club-issued statement.
"As he showed throughout the year, he is still a capable contributor and bringing him back for the 2017 season is a positive in all aspects. He is a positive influence in the locker room and on the field."
Wingert spent eight consecutive seasons with Real Salt Lake between 2007 to 2014 before moving to New York in 2015.
