Welcome Home: Seattle native Kelyn Rowe is excited to make an impact with Sounders FC

Kelyn Rowe is finally home.

Sounders FC announced that the midfielder had signed with his hometown club on Friday, bringing Rowe back to the community where his soccer journey first began.

“I think excited is a big word that I’ve used in the past few days,” Rowe told SoundersFC.com. “There’s definitely a sense of pride to come back and play where everything kind of started for me at the youth level. To be able to play in front of my family and lifelong friends is amazing.”

Rowe, 29, grew up in Federal Way and spent the bulk of his youth soccer days playing for local club Crossfire Premier.
