Toronto FC announced this morning that it had sent forward Joao Plata to Real Salt Lake in exchange for a second round draft pick in 2015.
Plata had been on loan back at the club he had originally got his start at LDU Quito. But after only making 13 appearances the fan favourite returned to MLS looking for a better option. He should find some playing time off the bench with the perennial league favourite.
After being selected 49th overall in the 2011 SuperDraft, it was just last January when Toronto FC decided to make the move permanent and buy him out of his LDU Quito contract. They offered him a multi-year deal with a reported $500,000 transfer fee paid to Ecuadorian side.
