After a rookie season playing for Timbers 2, in which the first-team homegrown earned 14 goals and four assists in 30 appearances, Foster Langsdorf successfully underwent surgery to repair his right lateral meniscus, a pad of cartilage in the knee. Recovery time to fully return to playing sports from this procedure is estimated at three months, which gives the striker plenty of time to get fit for next season.
Langsdorf joined the Portland Timbers Academy in 2012, where he trained until joining the Timbers U23 side from 2014–16.
During this time, he attended Stanford University, where he played alongside Jordan Morris and RSL’s José Hernández.
