Liberian International Willis Forko  cut from MLS Real Salt Lake



SALT LAKE CITY (Friday, February 15, 2008) - Real Salt Lake continued to shuffle its roster today as it began its second training camp of the 2008 preseason, announcing the squad has waived third-year DF Willis Forko. In addition, four trialists that were with RSL at the team's maiden camp in California - FW Adam Acosta, FW Sergio Comba, MF Dusan Simic, and FW Jeff Rowland - were released from the squad ahead of the team's current stint in Florida.

The 24-year-old Forko spent his first two professional seasons as a member of Real Salt Lake, which drafted the University of Connecticut standout in the second round of the 2006 MLS Supplemental Draft (14th overall). Forko started in all 38 appearances he made for RSL in regular season play and contributed one assist during his rookie campaign of 2006, in which he started 26 of the squad's 32 contests.
