After selecting defender Jermaine Taylor in Stage Two of the 2015 Re-Entry Draft last month, the Portland Timbers officially signed the defender today. Here's five things to know about the newest Portland player.
-- Portland should at least sound familiar to Taylor as he hails from from Portland, Jamaica, a parish located on the northeast coast of the island.
-- A regular with the Jamaica Men's National Team, Taylor has 83 senior caps on the international level.
-- He joins fellow Reggae Boyz on the Timbers roster in Alvas Powell and Michael Seaton.
