The Seattle Sounders brought back a familiar face to shore up the goalkeeping ranks on Friday, drafting former San Jose Earthquakes goalkeeper Bryan Meredith in Stage 1 of the 2016 MLS Re-Entry Draft.
Meredith, 27, spent the previous three seasons with the San Jose Earthquakes where he did not see any regular-season game action. Prior to San Jose, Meredith spent two years with the Sounders. He started 10 games and recorded three shutouts in 2012.
Meredith joins a goalkeeping crew that includes starter Stefan Frei and de-facto backup Tyler Miller. Earlier this week the club decided not to renew the option on Charlie Lyon, who spent the entirety of last season with S2.
