Beitashour, 33, was most recently with LAFC. Club see him as squad depth behind Sam Vines primarily. #Rapids96
Beitashour has been a right back for most of his career and was with LAFC for the previous two seasons. The 33-year-old was with Toronto FC when they were the MLS Cup runner-ups in 2016 and won in 2017. He became a free agent at the end of the 2019 season and in April 2020, told MLSSoccer.com that “I’m ready to get back on the field. And I’m still competitive, so I want to play, I want to win. That’s definitely what drives my head.”
The club has not confirmed the signing.
