Clark on French: “Kasey is a competitive player that continually makes good decisions on the ball. As a coach you love to have players like Kasey. He's not fancy, but just does his role no matter where you put him on the field. He's been a fixture at right back for the Sounders academy teams, but he could play any number of roles for us. He has enjoyed a great season so far for the Sounders U18 academy team. It’s our hope he’ll get some additional experience in the USL this summer and be ready to push to play next fall. He is a year older and playing very well at the moment. He’s a very tough right back, but also connects the game very well out of the back.”
