French forward Sebastien Le Toux has become the first player to sign with the Seattle Sounders FC, the new Major League Soccer franchise to play at Qwest Field starting next year.
Le Toux is also with the current Sounders that play in the United Soccer League.
Le Toux, 24, also has played for F.C. Lorient in the French League 2 and Stade Rennais Football Club in the French First Division. Earlier last season, Le Toux was on trial with FC Dallas of the MLS before finding his way to the Sounders first invitational training camp.
