Nigerian - American striker Sean Okoli has joined MLS side New England Revolution from Seattle Sounders after he was picked on Friday draft-day deal.

He was the Revolution’s second-round pick (33rd overall).

The 23-year-old forward played in three games for the Sounders in his rookie year, but did not record any offensive statistics.

He was signed by the club to a Homegrown Player deal prior to the 2014 season.

Okoli spent three years at Wake Forest (2011-2013), where he scored 24 goals and added nine assists during his college career.
