Jordan Morris isn't the only Sounders Academy product to be doing some overseas training. Like he did last offseason, Aaron Kovar is going to England ahead of the Seattle Sounders season. This time, Kovar will be training with Preston North End, a team that currently sits 15th in the 24-team English Championship.
"Aaron is a talented young player, and these types of experiences are always positive for development and fitness purposes," Sounders GM and President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey told the club's website. "We're hopeful that his time in England will be beneficial, allowing Aaron to hit the ground running in training camp with us in Seattle in a few weeks.
