MNUFC Signs Lawrence Olum

Minnesota United today announced it has signed defensive midfielder Lawrence Olum. The Kenyan international arrives following two years with the Portland Timbers and is sure to bring a veteran presence to the Loon’s backline and midfield with six years of postseason experience.

“It’s a nice story to have another player that’s worked with Adrian for many years, as well as played in this market for us years ago,” said MNUFC Sporting Director Manny Lagos. “He adds a lot of good depth and a veteran leadership to the middle of the field.”

Olum, 34, started his professional career with Portland Timbers while they were still in the USL in 2007.
