Chad Barrett signs with San Jose Earthquakes as a free agent

Former Sounders FC forward Chad Barrett will play with the San Jose Earthquakes next season after signing a new deal with the club on Tuesday.

Per league and team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Barrett, 30, is an 11-year MLS veteran who scored 12 goals and added one assist in 44 regular-season appearances over the past two years in Seattle. He also appeared in three postseason games for the Sounders while with the club.

Barrett scored five game-winning goals during his time in Seattle, perhaps most notably a 91st-minute winner against the New York Red Bulls at CenturyLink Field in Seattle on May 31, and a 94th-minute goal in the teams’ season opener against Sporting Kansas City on May 8, 2014, Barrett’s first game with the Sounders.
