American goalkeeper Gavin Beavers has become the latest young talent to head to Europe.

Beavers has joined Danish side Brondby in a permanent deal from MLS club Real Salt Lake, both clubs announced. The 19-year-old signed a three-year contract until June 2028.

We are incredibly happy to have Gavin Beavers join Brøndby IF,” Brondby Director of Football Benjamin Schmedes said. “Gavin is a young goalkeeper with great potential and an impressive character both on and off the pitch, and despite his young age he has already shown himself and played at a high level in the MLS and on the youth national teams.

“He is still a young goalkeeper, but we have put together a good plan for him, so that he, together with our coaching team and goalkeeper group, will get the right framework and conditions to develop here at Brøndby IF,” Schmedes added.

Beavers came up through for the RSL academy before being a homegrown signing. He made his MLS debut in 2023 and totaled 34 league appearances over the past two seasons, keeping three clean sheets.

Beavers also featured in the USL Championship and MLS NEXT Pro with Real Monarchs from 2021-23.

A promising U.S. men’s national team prospect, Beavers has featured for the USMNT U-17, U-19, and U-20 teams to date.

“First of all, I’m really happy to be here,” Beavers said. “Brøndby IF is a big club in Scandinavia, and I also see this move as a good opportunity for me to develop, as I’ll be part of a really talented squad of players and coaching staff, says Beavers, who has also seen a lot of videos about the atmosphere at Brøndby Stadium.”

Brondby already has American defender Justin Che under contract and will resume its league season on February 14.
