The Seattle Sounders have announced the signing of midfielder Miguel Montano and goalkeeper Josh Ford to new contracts. Per club and league policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

“We are pleased that Miguel is staying with us,” said head coach Sigi Schmid. “He is a player who continues to show flashes of absolute brilliance and we are hoping that this season becomes a very consistent year for him.”<\/p>\n

Montano, 19, spent last season with the Sounders on-loan from Argentina’s Quilmes and has decided to stay with the Western Conference club for another year. Ford, 23, was the Sounders first overall pick in the 2011 Supplemental Draft and will back up Kasey Keller and Terry Boss in net.<\/p>\n

“We felt good about both goalkeepers,” said Schmid. “Josh worked very hard. He’s got a strong mentality and he is a great shot stopper. He is very brave with what he does as a goalkeeper so we are very pleased to be able to sign him.”<\/p>\n

Seattle kicks off their regular season against the Los Angeles Galaxy on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
