Ragen, 26, has recorded three goals and one assist in 29 matches (all starts) this season. He has three goals and five assists in 84 career appearances (75 starts) for Seattle.

"We are excited to reach an agreement with Jackson. He's earned this opportunity to extend his career in Seattle," Sounders general manager and chief soccer officer Craig Waibel said in a release.

"It's always a great story to see a player excel for his hometown club after developing in our academy, so we're looking forward to him continuing his professional career in Rave Green."
