The Seattle Sounders announced that the club has signed forward Cordell Cato, pending receipt of his P-1 Visa and International Transfer Clearance (ITC).

Cato, 19, is a native of Trinidad and Tobago and was chosen to his country's squad for the 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championships. He has spent time with Port of Spain's Defence Force FC and San Juan Jabloteh FC, since joining the former as a youth product.

"Cordell provides us speed and versatility as he can play on the flank and up front," said Sigi Schmid, Sounders FC head coach. "He's a young player with a good future."

Cato had trained with Sounders FC last summer before joining up with the team this winter.
