Former Sounder, Seattle native DeAndre Yedlin gets hand tattoo of Washington state

Yedlin to Newcatle 2016-08-23

Once a Sounder, always a Sounder.


That mantra rings even truer for former Seattle Sounder Homegrown product DeAndre Yedlin, whose Newcastle United side won the EFL Championship this past weekend and earned a promotion to the English Premier League. The Seattle native unveiled a new tattoo on his right hand on Monday, one that features the state of Washington and a compass with “NW”.

Yedlin, 23, made 27 league appearances in his first season with Newcastle since joining the Magpies from Tottenham Hotspur. He spent the 2015-16 season on loan with Sunderland.


Yedlin made 56 appearances with the Sounders from 2013-14.
