PanARMENIAN.Net - Forward Yura Movsisyan has been permanently acquired by Real Salt Lake from FC Spartak Moscow, general manager Craig Waibel said Monday, October 10, according to the Associated Press.

The club also signed Movsisyan to a contract for 2017.

The 29-year-old joined Real Salt Lake in January through a loan for the 2016 season and has scored a team-high nine goals to go along with three assists in 27 games.
