SEATTLE, WASH. – Sounders FC selected Stanford goalkeeper Andrew Thomas off waivers today following the conclusion of the NCAA Men’s soccer season. Seattle acquired the top spot in the waivers process from Chicago Fire FC in exchange for $50,000 in General Allocation Money (GAM). Thomas was a three-time All-Pac-12 First Team selection at Stanford after a youth career for English side Watford FC in the club’s academy system. Thomas has a pre-signed contract with Major League Soccer and is being added to Sounders FC’s First Team roster immediately.
“After a strong career at Stanford, we see Andrew as a goalkeeper that we think can develop and help us out down the road,” said Sounders FC General Manager & President of Soccer Garth Lagerwey.
