The Seattle Sounders have signed Jordan Morris to a new contract that could keep the homegrown forward in Seattle for up to five years, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the deal.



The five-year contract includes three guaranteed seasons and two option years, and will pay Morris an average of roughly $1 million per year if he plays out the entire contract. The 24-year-old is returning from a torn ACL that sidelined him for the entire 2018 season. He began training again in the fall, but did not play last season.



In 2016, the Sounders signed Morris to what was then a record homegrown deal. The Stanford player was being courted by several European sides but opted to stay with Seattle, his hometown team. Morris scored 15 goals and assisted on five over his first two seasons in Seattle, including a 12-goal season in 2016 that earned him MLS Rookie of the Year honors.
