Seattle Sounders FC has signed Costa Rican international defender Leonardo Gonzalez. The 6'1 leftback will join up with the Sounders after Gold Cup action.
“It’s nice to have to have a naturally left-footed player. He can play left back, play center back in a pinch, and he can also play wide and run the whole line for us,” said Sigi Schmid, Sounders FC coach. “He is an attacking left fullback with good size and athleticism. He’s very willing to get forward out of a defensive position and does a good job defensively.”
Gonzalez has 59 caps with Costa Rica, including three in the 2006 World Cup.
