TUKWILA, Wash. (AP) - The Seattle Sounders have added four more players selected in the MLS supplemental draft, and traded the rights to 2011 MLS SuperDraft pick Leone Cruz to Real Salt Lake in exchange for supplemental selection Andy Rose.
The draft took place on Tuesday. Along with acquiring Rose in the deal with Salt Lake, the Sounders drafted defender Tim Pontius, midfielder Jason Banton, forward Abdul Aman and defender Wes Feighner.
Rose was the sixth overall pick in the supplemental draft after playing midfield for UCLA. Pointus was selected 33rd overall out of UC Santa Barbara, while Banton was taken one selection later. The 19-year-old from England has played in the youth systems of Arsenal, Blackburn and Liverpool.
Aman was the 53rd overall pick out of nearby Washington, while Feighner played collegiately at Cal Poly.
