Schmid said that he thinks Jones will flourish in Seattle and be a key member of the squad.
Seattle Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid praised new signing Joevin Jones for his pace and ability to go forward, specifically highlighting the player's ability to play as a left winger if needed. "We want our outside backs to get forward, and he's somebody who can add that to our game."
Seattle's need for a starting left back has been painfully apparent in the last year, from Leo Gonzalez's form decline and eventual release, to the lack of a strong showing from the young Dylan Remick.
