Sounders FC Sign Chris Eylander
Former University of Washington and USL Seattle Sounder goalkeeper Chris Eylander has signed an MLS contract to play for Seattle Sounders FC.
Eylander, 24, has spent the past three season with the USL Sounders and was named “Player of the US Open Cup“.
Of course this isn’t earth-shattering news. New head coach Sigi Schmid leaked this information last month on Fx Football Fone-In saying that he “will be able to work under Kasey for a year or two”
Eylander, the Sumner, WA native, joins Sanna Nyassi and Sebastien LeToux as members of the USL squad to earn an MLS contract with Sounders FC.
Sigi Schmid…
We’re very excited to have Chris join our team. I’ve seen him play at the University of Washington and I also followed his career with the USL Sounders. He’s a quality goalkeeper and a quality individual for our team.
