Jason Farrell
Assistant Coach
Seattle U men's soccer and head coach Nate Daligcon have announced the addition of Jason Farrell to the coaching staff ahead of the 2023 season.
"We are excited to announce Jason as the newest member of our coaching staff," coach Daligcon said of the addition. "He brings a wealth of experience as a coach and player, that will have an immediate and lasting impact on our team and will help elevate the program."
Farrell, a Seattle native, most recently served as the head coach of Ballard FC of USL League 2. He led Ballard to an 8-2-2 regular season in their inaugural season last year, before guiding the team to a playoff run that saw them reach the Western Conference Finals. The team clinched their second straight playoff berth before Farrell stepped down this season.
Despite starting his professional coaching career with the Sounders in 2006, Farrell first served as an assistant coach with the Seattle U program back in 2005. The Redhawks went 13-6-0 that season, finishing first in the GNAC.
"Jason has a great track record of success at all levels he has coached in the Pacific Northwest," Daligcon added. "We look forward to the role he will play in supporting and challenging our student athletes in their growth as people, students, and players."
Prior to his career in coaching, Farrell had a successful career as a player. After graduating from Shorecrest High School, he attended the University of Washington and Seattle Pacific University. Post college he joined the Seattle Sounders - then of the USL - where he spent three seasons while appearing in 69 games. He was drafted by the Columbus Crew in the 1997 MLS Supplemental Draft, spending four seasons with the club. In all, he spent 11 seasons with five different clubs.
"I am positively thrilled to "return" to Seattle University and honored to join Nate's staff," Farrell said of returning to the program. "I have known Nate for quite a while and have always respected the way he sees the game and, perhaps more importantly, how he treats those he works with and the players under his tutelage."
