Two days before the MLS SuperDraft last month, Colton Storm sat down with members of the Sporting Kansas City front office in Los Angeles. The two sides departed the meeting with similar insight, each optimistic on a potential personality fit.
Storm next has the opportunity to prove himself as a fit on the field.
After a month with Sporting KC in the preseason, Storm signed a one-year contract with the club Friday, a pact that also includes three one-year options.
Sporting KC used the No. 14 overall selection to draft Storm last month.
“Colton is a player (who) not only possesses very good qualities in his position, but when talking to people who have worked with him in the past, it’s clear he has a very strong mentality and work ethic,” coach Peter Vermes said.
