Real Salt Lake waived veteran defender Bryan Oviedo on Thursday after parts of three seasons with the club.

The 34-year-old Costa Rica native contributed eight assists in 46 career MLS matches, including 29 starts.

"We are very thankful to Bryan and his family for their contributions to Real Salt Lake on and off the field over the last three seasons, and we wish him all the best in the next chapter of his career," chief soccer office Kurt Schmid said in a news release. "This was the best decision for both parties at this time."

Oviedo originally joined RSL in August 2022 on a free transfer from Danish powerhouse FC Copenhagen.
