List of Seattle Sounders FC players

Seattle Sounders FC is an American soccer club founded in 2008, after the city of Seattle was awarded a Major League Soccer (MLS) franchise. Sounders FC began playing competitive soccer in the 2009 season. It plays its home games at Lumen Field, competing in the Western Conference of the MLS. The current Sounders FC is the third soccer team from Seattle to bear the Sounders nickname. The tradition was started by Seattle's North American Soccer League team in 1974, and continued by the city's United Soccer Leagues side, formed in 1994.[1] The current Sounders FC is an entity distinct to both of these clubs, and played its first MLS game on March 19, 2009.[2]

Goalkeepers

Former Sounders FC captain Kasey Keller

In their history the Seattle Sounders FC have used three primary goalkeepers. US national team member and Seattle area native[135] Kasey Keller was the goalkeeper for the team's first three seasons. In November 2011, just shy of his 42nd birthday, Keller retired. Austrian Michael Gspurning was brought in as Keller's replacement in 2012. After two seasons Gspurning and the Sounders FC front office were unable to come to an agreement on a contract and Gspurning was released.[136] Toronto FC traded Stefan Frei to the Sounders in December 2013. Frei would be the first choice goalkeeper for the Sounders from the 2014 season to present.
