Seattle Sounders FC roster update from preseason camp in Orange County, California

Sounders training Orange County 2019-02-01

With Sounders FC's 2019 preseason in full swing from Orange County, California, the club prepares its first preseason match in a closed-door friendly against Atlanta United FC on Saturday, February 2 at Cal State Fullerton.


Additionally, Sounders FC today announced that midfielder Jordy Delem and defender Kelvin Leerdam received their U.S. Green Cards, granting them permanent resident status in the United States, effective immediately. With resident stats, Delem and Leerdam no longer occupy international roster slots on the club's roster.
The current roster of 24 contracted players on the First Team is composed of three goalkeepers, nine defenders, nine midfielders and three forwards. The club currently has two Designated Players, six International Players and four Homegrown Players.
Of note, Seattle's First Round 2019 MLS SuperDraft selection Tucker Bone has departed camp to return to the United States Air Force Academy so he may fulfill his school obligations.
In addition to those currently signed to First Team contracts, Brian Schmetzer's preseason roster includes players currently signed to Tacoma Defiance (the club's USL side), unsigned SuperDraft picks and Sounders FC Academy players.
