Seattle Sounders: Move Brad Smith to defensive midfield

Brad Smith, left-back of the Seattle Sounders, wants to stay in Washington. But his contract runs out June 30, at which point he will return to parent club, Bournemouth. There is hesitance surrounding his future.

Neither the Seattle Sounders nor Smith should be faulted for their indecision. Nor any confusion. That’s because left-back isn’t his best position. What the winger produces befits a defensive midfielder.

Smith joined the team last August on loan from AFC Bournemouth and started six games, scoring an assist. This season, Smith has started the first four games of this season.
