IRELAND U19 INTERNATIONAL Timi Sobowale is to make the move from Manchester City to the United States where he will join Utah-based club Real Monarchs.
19-year-old Sobowale has been signed by the club, pending visa approval, who play in the USL Championship, the league below the MLS. The young defender joined Man City from Waterford schoolboy outfit Villa FC. He made 21 appearances for teams in the Man City academy in his first two seasons and soon moved on to the U23 side in Premier League 2.
Pedaling away on the stationary bike, James Moberg watches over as a group of teenagers and early 20-somethings take to the pitch for training. There is an air of newness and change, it’s a far cry from his rookie days, but it’s still home.
Prior to the start of the season the Real Salt Lake front office made the decision to switch directions with the Real Monarchs, electing to sign young internationals and Real Salt Lake Academy players, as opposed to the previous formula that included veterans from the USL Championship.
Moberg is just one of three holdovers during the transition, and the only to sign a new contract.

Mata, 20, is the first-ever signing from New Zealand for the Monarchs. The young forward arrives in the States from Switzerland where he spent time with the second tier of Grasshopper, scoring five goals in 10 appearances. During the 2019 season he played on loan with Nõmme Kalju FC in Estonia, racking up 11 goals and six assists in just 20 matches.
