Jose Romero is noting that Jacob Lensky, a Canadian U20 and U23 player has joined the Sounders’ Training Camp.

Lensky played at Feyenoord Rotterdam in the Dutch Eredivisie last year but left the club.

He is a 5’10″, 15olb 20-year old Midfielder.

Just two days ago, The Province ran a story on Lensky, Finding urge to play again. When he left the Netherlands, he returned home to Vancouver. “Happiness, he said, was the only priority, and he’s found that again since returning to Vancouver.
