Portland lures away the fullback from Kansas City, where he has spent his whole career, while also re-signing the seven-year veteran Okugo.
The Portland Timbers announced a pair of moves Monday, signing free-agent fullback Chance Myers and re-signing defender/midfielder Amobi Okugo.
Myers, 29, had spent the entirely of his career with the Kansas City organization, breaking in with the Wizards in 2008 after being made the top pick in that year’s MLS SuperDraft. He developed into a regular starter for the side, but ruptured his Achilles in 2014, which sidelined him for large chunks of the next two seasons.
