Major League Soccer's Seattle Sounders announced the signing Wednesday of midfielder Lamar Neagle, the fourth player on the roster to have high school and club soccer experience, joining Chris Eylander, Kevin French and Kasey Keller.
Neagle recently graduated from UNLV, where he played all but one game in his Runnin' Rebels career and led the team in scoring his last two seasons with nine goals each.
He is also a three-time All-Mountain Pacific Sports Foundation First Team selection and was named to the 2008 All-Far West Region Second Team.
Born in Tacoma, Neagle was a three-year starter at Thomas Jefferson High School in Federal Way, WA and led the team as a senior to a 16-2-4 record and the Washington state Class 4A title, as well as broke a 31-year-old school single game scoring record when he scored a double hat trick -- six goals -- and was named to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer High School All-Star Team.
He played club soccer for Norpoint Chivas in northeast Tacoma.
Neagle was a preseason trialist for the Sounders during a two-week Southern California swing that saw him scored two assists in two games. He returned to Seattle May 13 after graduating from UNLV.
