The Portland Timbers have brought back the former Leicester City winger and signed a trio of players from its USL side.

The Portland Timbers have re-signed winger Jack Barmby and added three players from the organization's USL reserve team, the club announced Thursday.

Barmby, 22, spent the 2016 MLS season on loan from Leicester City, recording one goal and one assist in 24 appearances (five starts) in all competitions.

"Overall, we felt Jack had a positive first season with our club, especially considering his age and potential upside," Timbers coach Caleb Porter said. "We look forward to having him back and seeing even more progress and impact this season.
