The Seattle Sounders announced on Thursday, June 9 that forward Sam Adeniran has been loaned to San Antonio FC for the remainder of the 2022 USL Championship season. The loan sends Adeniran, who turns 24 in September, to play in his home state for the first time as a professional. It’s also a return to the league in which he scored 13 goals and added 2 assists for Tacoma Defiance in 30 appearances. Adeniran joins fellow Sounders for life Jordy Delem and Justin Dhillon at San Antonio.
Seattle signed Adeniran to an MLS contract following the 2021 season after he lead Defiance in scoring and made two MLS appearances as a hardship signing, including starting in the Sounders’ remarkable road win against Austin FC.
