Ryan Kent seals MLS transfer as 3 things about ex Rangers star get new club 'excited'
The former Light Blues winger pens a deal until the end of the MLS season with the club holding an option for a further year
Ryan Kent is back in football after putting pen to paper at Seattle Sounders.
The former Rangers winger has ended months of speculation over his future since his Fenerbahce exit by signing on the dotted line for the remainder of the MLS season. The club hold an extension clause for a further season if they decide to take it on.
The 28-year-old initially joined Rangers on loan from Liverpool under Steven Gerrard before the former Ibrox boss shelled out a big fee to bring him on board on a permanent basis. Following his exit from Ibrox he moved on a free to the Turkish giants.
Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer has picked out three key strengths in Kent's game that will help give his side an added dimension in the final third.
He told the club website: “Ryan is a very good player with an impressive pedigree, and we’re excited to bring him into our team.
“He’s got real quality on the ball, is effective at taking players on and stretches opposing backlines, which should give us another dimension in the final third.
"We’re confident Ryan will integrate quickly and give us a big lift as we continue a long, gruelling 2025 campaign.”
General Manager and Chief Soccer Officer Craig Waibel added: “We’re thrilled to welcome Ryan Kent to Seattle and add him to our existing group this season.
“Ryan is a dynamic winger with top-level experience who brings pace, creativity and a dangerous attacking threat.
"His versatility and work ethic make him a great fit for our system, and we believe he can make an immediate impact and allow us to continue competing at the highest level.”
