He's a competitive, intelligent player who brings physicality and composure to the backline, and we believe his profile fits well with the way we want to play. This signing adds important depth to our defensive group, and we're looking forward to continuing his development within our system," said Sounders FC General Manager & Chief Soccer Officer Craig Waibel.
