Johnny Russell talks joining Real Salt Lake and how he's looking to embrace Salt Lake after seven seasons with long-time rivals

Johnny Russell, Winger and Newest Addition for Real Salt Lake, joins the program to break down his move to Real Salt Lake, his veteran presence to the locker room and his love of muscle cars.

"The author of 67 goals in 232 matches across all competitions in seven seasons with Sporting KC, Russell has been a thorn in RSL’s side over the years, as the series’ all-time leading scorer all time in matches between the two clubs, having scored five in league play and seven in all competitions against RSL. Russell now arrives in Utah as the highest-scoring Scottish-born player in MLS history."
