SEATTLE, WASH. – Sounders FC goalkeeper Tyler Miller was selected by Los Angeles FC with the first pick in the 2017 MLS Expansion Draft on Tuesday. Miller, who saw his option exercised by Sounders FC for 2018, is now under contract with expansion side LAFC. Major League Soccer’s newest club begins playing in 2018 under the direction of Head Coach Bob Bradley.
Miller, 24, made eight appearances for Sounders FC across all competitions since being drafted in the second round (33rd overall) in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. The Northwestern alum most recently recorded a shutout in Seattle’s 2-0 win over Houston in the first leg of the Western Conference Championship in place for the injured Stefan Frei.
