Caden Clark gives Sounders options across three attacking roles

A $50,000 2027 GAM clause depends on Clark remaining.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 31 min read

What happened: Seattle acquired Caden Clark on a U-22 deal completed before the Secondary Transfer Window closed. The 23-year-old brings experience from MLS, Germany, Denmark and the international level.

Why it matters: Injuries over the past month have thinned Seattle's attacking options. At 7-9-5 with 26 points, the club needs production quickly to improve its playoff position.

By the numbers: Clark has 11 goals and 19 assists in 116 MLS regular-season appearances. In 2026, he has one assist in seven substitute appearances.

What to watch: Seattle's Sept. 5 league match is the first opportunity for Clark to enter the squad. His role and minutes will indicate how quickly the club plans to integrate him.
