SAINT PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota United adds both youth and defensive depth with the arrival of Damion Lowe on loan from the Seattle Sounders. The 22-year-old played with United during the Simple Invitational in Portland last month and United's 2-0 win over University of Nebraska-Omaha last Saturday. Per team and league policy the terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Standing at 6'3", the young defender possesses lots of raw talent and has the pace to close down attacking players. He has shown to be valuable for set pieces as well, getting to several balls during the preseason tournament in Portland, and netting a goal against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

The Jamaican grew up in Kingston playing for Harbour View, one of United midfielder Lance Laing's former teams. He played one year in the Premier Development League with Reading United before signing with the Sounders in 2014.

Lowe was loaned to Sounders 2 in the USL for the 2015 season. He helped the club reach the playoffs in its first season, with Lowe appearing 17 times, scoring a goal and providing an assist. He was also apart of Sounders 2's U.S. Open Cup run, defeating Kitsap Pumas and Portland Timbers 2 before falling to Real Salt Lake in the Fourth Round.
