When Will Bruin joined the Seattle Sounders this past offseason, he came in search of one thing: a fresh start.
After spending his first six professional seasons with the Houston Dynamo, he fell out of favor toward the end of 2016, not playing consistently for a team that finished last in the Western Conference and missed the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs for the third consecutive year. Now, somewhat fittingly, the team standing in his way of a trip to the 2017 MLS Cup Final is his former club.
“It would be great to be in Seattle and knock Houston out to go to MLS Cup,” Bruin said with a smile.
