Even though Seattle Sounders general manager Garth Lagerwey noted offhand this week that S2’s Nouhou Tolo would be on the first team roster this season, the club made Tolo’s signing official today. The 19-year-old Cameroonian defender impressed the coaching staff enough in his 24 matches with S2 that they decided to promote him to the squad in order to back up Joevin Jones at left-back. Through assistant coach Djimi Traore (the only staff member who speaks French), Tolo told the media on Thursday “I’m very proud to sign with the Sounders because it’s a big, big club in MLS and they are champions, so I’m very, very proud.
