Real Salt Lake signed former Orlando City SC forward Benji Michel through the end of the 2024 season on Friday.

The 26-year-old free agent’s contract includes options for 2025 and 2026.

Real Salt Lake acquired his right of first refusal from Orlando City for their better second-round pick in 2025 and $50,000 in general allocation money in 2026.

“It’s an honor to join such an amazing organization like RSL,” Michel said. “The excitement and the projection this team is on right now makes me want to give it my all for the crest. The culture within the group is just phenomenal.”

Michel tallied 15 goals and six assists in 103 matches (50 starts) for Orlando City from 2019-22 before playing for FC Arouca in Portugal’s top flight from 2023-24.
