Seth Stammler (born September 29, 1981 in Columbus, Ohio) is an American soccer player, who currently plays for Red Bull New York of Major League Soccer.
Stammler played four years of college soccer for the University of Maryland, where he captained one of the best teams in the nation in his sophomore, junior, and senior seasons. Prior to attending the University of Maryland, he attended Lincoln High School for his high school years, where he played soccer. Prior to attending LHS, he attended Gahanna Middle School East for his three years of middle school.
After graduating from Maryland, Stammler was selected 18th overall in the 2004 MLS SuperDraft by the MetroStars. However, during preseason, Stammler suffered an ankle injury that kept him out for much of the season. Joining the squad late in the year, Stammler registered only a minute of playing time as a rookie. He saw more playing time in his second season, and played effectively in left midfield in the playoffs.
The 2006 season saw Stammler establish himself as the clubs starting left side midfielder. His versatility and overall solid play saw him appear in 29 matches (27 starts) in which he registered three goals and five assists. Stammler scored his first MLS goal May 20, 2006 with a long-range shot against Chivas USA. He added a header for his second goal in the same game in a 5-4 Red Bull win.
In 2007 Stammler began the season as the teams starting defensive midfielder. His tenacious play helped guide the club to an impressive start. Later in the season Stammler was shifted to defense due to his ability to play the ball out of the back. He concluded the campaign appearing in 29 matches (28 starts), registering two assists.
Seth started a non-profit organization named The Sporting Chance Foundation. The foundation aims to help Haitian children gain access to education and provides clean water through building community water wells.
