As soon as Sounders FC’s seventh MLS campaign came to a close, one thing was clear: The team was determined to get younger in the offseason.
The club made a step in that direction on Monday, signing S2 goalkeeper Tyler Miller to a first-team contract and re-signing forward Andy Craven.
“Despite both players battling injuries this past year, our staff was impressed with the progress they made in their first professional season,” GM and President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey said. “We think they can be long-term contributors to our squad going forward.”
For Craven, 23, the contract offered another opportunity with the club.
