S2 starts building their roster, signing Zach Mathers, Emir Alihodzic, and Michael Nelson.
Sounders follow up yesterday's flurry of transactions with an S2 group signing. The final three Sounders draft picks signed to the USL side with Zach Mathers, Emir Alihodzic, and Michael Nelson all inking contracts today. All three trained with both the First Team and S2 during training camp and fought with MLS signings Tony Alfaro and Oalex Anderson for roster spots.
Each player is expected to "help S2 immediately" according to GM Andrew Opatkiewicz. All three players fill slightly different roles. Mathers is deep mid who can get forward, kind of a Wil Trapp type player.
