Reminded of his own youthful soccer dreams, Adrian Hanauer admits emotion played part in Morris signing.
"I have to be honest – this addition to our team has been more emotional for me than most players that we’ve signed in the past." This, from Seattle Sounders FC owner Adrian Hanauer, best sums why the club spent so much time, money, and effort in getting Jordan Morris back to Seattle.
The signing of Jordan Morris to the largest MLS Homegrown Player contract in history was anything but normal for the Sounders. It was a deal, Hanauer said, nearly 10 years in the making.
