Fast Facts: Torres lands in a Sea of Green

When you mess with the bull, you get the...captain of the Panamanian National Team.


Early Wednesday morning, Sounders FC announced its fourth pickup of the Summer Transfer Window with the signing of Panamanian defender Román "El Toro" Torres. You might remember the name from, oh I don't know, dominating the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup and taking home bronze as the captain of his national team? Take one look at his highlight reel, and you'll see what I mean.


The 29-year-old joins the Rave Green after making 331 appearances across both South and Central American professional football where he built a reputation for his aerial prowess - no small feat for the big man who weighs in at just under 200 lbs and just over six feet tall. The only bull that has more hops than this one might be Michael Jordan.
