Deuchar secures Real deal
27 Feb 2008 - 11:47:29
Gretna striker Kenny Deuchar has decided to leave the club early to join MLS side Real Salt Lake.
The 27-year-old had already confirmed that he would quit the SPL strugglers this summer, but he has now opted to exit early to take up a fresh challenge.
Real Salt Lake coach, Jason Kreis, told the Deseret Morning News: "He was a player we talked to a few weeks ago and knew there was a possibility of something.
"We saw some video and liked what we saw enough that general manager Garth Lagerway wanted to go over there and see him play.
"When you go to see a player play against Rangers and he scores twice, it tends to be a bit of an element. I think we are very fortunate to have Kenny Deuchar."
Deuchar scored 76 goals in 117 appearances in all competitions for Gretna, while he also netted ten goals in 15 outings for St Johnstone during a loan spell earlier this season.
