So far information about the Portland Timbers’ offseason pursuits has been hard to come by. To date, the only firm pieces of information to come from the team are that Gavin Wilkinson and Giovanni Savarese have been to Europe and that they are close to signing a young right back to serve as the understudy to Jorge Moreira.
Now we finally know who that right back is.
On Saturday morning, 18-year-old French-Irish right back Tom Gaston posted a photo to his instagram account from the Timbers’ locker room captioned, “very happy and honored to have signed a new deal with such a great club @TimbersFC”.
