RSL Legend Andy Williams Retires

Today was a bittersweet day for us Real Salt Lake fans. Veteran midfielder Andy Williams, aka "bommadog" announced his retirement from MLS after 14 seasons. Williams was eligible for the re-entry draft, and chose to retire but stay with the RSL family. He'll be joining the technical staff as a scout.

Williams spent the last 7 seasons in Salt Lake. He was drafted with RSL's first pick in the 2004 expansion draft. He is the last of original RSL 2005 team. This last season he notched two goals, one assist, and logged 1970 minutes in 31 games.

Williams was also a big part of the Jamaican National Team "The Reggae Boyz." He was capped 92 times and played in the 1998 FIFA World Cup. He scored 13 international goals in his career.

Williams also won the US Open Cup as a member of the Chicago Fire in 2003.

Personally, I'm sad to see him hang up the boots, but I'm really glad he is going to continue to be a part of RSL.
