Former Burnley defender Tyrone Mears has been snapped up by Seattle Sounders.

The 31-year-old impressed the MLS side during a training spell at the club and has moved on a permanent basis, says the Daily Mail.

He will replace DeAndre Yedlin, who is joining Tottenham this week.

After starting his career at Manchester City, he also played for Preston North End, West Ham United, Derby County and Bolton Wanderers in England.
