“Moses has shown well during this preseason in Utah and has assimilated well to the group dynamic the last several weeks,” RSL general manager Elliot Fall said.
“We believe the glut of MLS experience gained at such a young age at D.C. United and his brief time with Beveren, as well as his life journey from Liberia to the US youth national team system, have brought him to a point where he can contribute here.”
The 19-year-old, who previously played for D. C. United from 2019-22 before joining Beveren last August.
The US youth international, however, hasn’t made a first-team appearance while in Europe.
In October 2019, Nyeman became D.C. United’s second-youngest signing ever (15 years old). He tallied three assists across 32 games (17 starts) before his transfer abroad.
