Sounders FC Sign Their First Player

Seattle's new Major League Soccer team, Seattle Sounders FC, has signed its first player: Sebastien Le Toux. Le Toux, a 24 year old French national, is a forward. He's not Thierry Henry, but he is a start! Le Toux is not unknown to Sounders staff or fans, he is a member of the current Seattle Sounders team in the United Soccer League, where he has excelled.

Every whisper of a new player, and now concrete news on the start of the Sounders line-up, is getting Seattlest even more excited about professional soccer coming to Seattle. We're even pooling money together with our best friend to purchase season tickets! "Season ticket holder" was never a title we thought we'd claim for ourselves, but the Sounders have us singing a different tune. We're waiting, with great anticipation, to see who will be joining Le Toux as a Sounders starter.
