Seattle Sounders add Brad Smith on loan from Bournemouth
The Seattle Sounders added defender Brad Smith on loan from Bournemouth on Wednesday, hours before the deadline of the MLS secondary transfer window.
Smith, 24, will join Seattle on a one-year loan deal until the middle of the 2019 MLS season in June, though the Premier League club will be able to recall him in January if the Cherries choose to do so.
The Australia international appeared in five Premier League games in 2016-17 after joining Bournemouth from boyhood club Liverpool, but he only appeared in three cup games last season while struggling with a hip injury and finding himself behind Charlie Daniels in the pecking order.
