The Portland Timbers have signed Lituanian left back Vytautas Andriuškeviu010dius on a free transfer, confirming the tumors that have swirled around the club for the last several weeks.
Although the Timbers have largely stabilized their back line with the recent return of Liam Ridgewell from injury, the side have still not locked down the left back position and Andriuškeviu010dius should have an opportunity to make it his own once the team receives his international transfer certificate.
