Former Seattle Sounders forward Sebastien Le Toux announces retirement

On May 7, 2008, the Seattle Sounders announced forward Sebastien Le Toux as their first MLS signing.

Exactly 10 years later to the date, the 34-year-old Frenchman announced his retirement. It was an illustrious career for Le Toux, who also had stints with the Philadelphia Union, Vancouver Whitecaps, New York Red Bills, Colorado Rapids and D.C. United.

However, he will always be cherished in Seattle for being the first MLS Sounder. He was the only player on the roster for several months until Kasey Keller joined that September.

He made his professional debut in France with Lorient in 2004.
