There was plenty to be excited about during Tuesday night’s Portland Timbers 2 friendly against German side FC St. Pauli, but amidst the goals, the drama, and the old-school atmosphere, one name on the Timbers’ team sheet caught the eye: “Trialist”.
That trialist, Stumptown Footy can confirm, is Fulham midfielder and England U-19 international Tayo Edun.
Edun, who turned twenty on May 14th, is a left-footed defensive midfielder and left full back who came up through the Fulham youth set up. He made his debut with the Fulham U-18’s when he was 15 and his first team debut with Fulham in the English Championship at 18.
