Sounders FC Signs Celebrated Goalkeeper

Washington native Kasey Keller returns home to play for MLS team

KIRKLAND, WASH. – The Seattle Sounders FC signed American goalkeeper Kasey Keller to a multi-year contract, the team announced today. Keller is the second player to sign with the club, whose inaugural season begins in 2009.

Keller is a four-time World Cup participant and one of the first American goalkeepers to become a regular in the English Premier League. He was named U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year an unprecedented three times (1997, 1999 and 2005).

“Kasey is arguably the top goalkeeper that the United States has ever produced,” said General Manager Adrian Hanauer. “He is a natural leader and those leadership qualities should be of enormous value to Sounders FC.”

Born in Olympia, Keller has played more than 600 matches for club and country. He has earned an American goalkeeper record of 102 international caps and 53 wins for USA, including 47 shutouts. In his only previous professional appearances in Seattle, Keller did not allow a goal in three international wins, including two at Qwest Field.
