It was only two years ago that Alex Roldan reported to Seattle Sounders preseason out of contract and forced to fight for a roster spot. When he hits the training pitch on Friday, he’ll be infinitely more secure.
Fresh off a season in which he was named an MLS All-Star and established himself as the captain of the El Salvador national team, Roldan has signed a new contract that not only includes a significant raise but also includes three guaranteed years the team announced on Thursday. The Sounders will also have a team option for 2025.
