After a fourth consecutive season of failing to find reliable playing time, Aaron Kovar’s tenure with the Seattle Sounders may be up. The Seattle native was loaned to LAFC on Tuesday, meaning he’s almost certainly gone for the entire year at a minimum. At the end of the loan, LAFC will have the option to make the move permanent.
By MLS rosters rules, Kovar won’t be able to play in either of LAFC’s matches against the Sounders and he’ll have to remain there for at least the whole season. It also opens a roster spot for the Sounders, putting them at 23 without counting any of the three players that were recently selected in the SuperDraft.
