This is from the Olympian, one of our sister papers:
Kasey Keller is coming home to play soccer.
Keller, who grew up in Lacey and has played soccer in Europe since 1991, will be introduced Thursday as the new goalkeeper for the Seattle Sounders MLS team.
He's expected to sign a two-year contract, allowing him to finish an illustrious career in his home state. The Sounders FC MLS team begins play next spring.
“We’ll, I’m not officially with them. So, until it’s official I can’t make any comment,” Keller said in a phone interview this morning from Seattle.
Keller, a product of North Thurston High School, will announce his contract agreement at a press conference with the Sounders Thursday.
Keller’s father, Bernie, was excited about the news.
“I’m glad. It’s really exciting for me to have him back,” Bernie Keller said. “I got married a week or so ago and he was my best man. That was pretty cool in itself. Being able to see some of his games again will be fun. And just having him available to do things we haven’t been able to do for years.”
Keller has wanted to finish his playing career in the United States.
Keller has played in Europe since 1991, playing in England, Spain and Germany.
After four seasons at the University of Portland, where he was an All-American and reached the Final Four, he signed with Millwall in England’s second division in 1991.
