The Seattle Sounders will host a “special presentation” on Thursday morning at the team’s clubhouse in Pioneer Square, and all indications are that the club will unveil Mercer Island native Jordan Morris as its newest Homegrown Player signing after the player turned down a contract offer in Germany earlier this week.
Though the team declined to elaborate on the nature of the presentation, the 11 a.m. press conference at the Ninety will be attended by Sounders owner Adrian Hanauer, general manager Garth Lagerwey, coach Sigi Schmid and sporting director Chris Henderson.
The signing will bring to an end a multi-year pursuit during which Morris’ public profile has significantly grown.
