Turnover has been a fact of life for Seattle Sounders 2. Just three players under contract in 2015 were brought back last year and only one of the players signed by S2 in 2016 are back this year.
Although that overstates the degree to which the overall roster has changed from year to year — a host of Academy players and First-Teamers on loan will invariably have spent time with S2 last year, just as they did in 2016 — there’s no denying that continuity has been in short supply.
- Riley Grant, defender, 22
- Ray Saari, midfielder, 21
- Denso Ulysse, defender, 18
S2 head coach Ezra Hendrickson is hopeful that will change in the future.
