Seattle Sounders have re-signed midfielder Brad Evans to a new contract.

The 28-year old, who has recently been playing at right-back for the USA national team, has penned a fresh multi-year deal with the Sounders. Per Major League Soccer and club policy, terms were not disclosed.

"Re-signing Brad was a major priority for us," said Sounders general manager Adrian Hanauer.

"He has become a leader in the locker room and is a versatile player on the field. Brad exhibits the commitment, values and spirit of playing for the Sounders FC badge."

Evans, who has made 112 appearances since joining from Columbus Crew in 2009, added: "My goal was to stay in Seattle and I'm very excited to continue my career here.

"It's always an honor to play for this city and these fans. I can't wait to get back to work with my teammates to prepare for the 2014 season."
