PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Timbers have acquired forward Jack McInerney from the Columbus Crew in exchange for both general and targeted allocation money.
McInerney, 23, is a six-year veteran of Major League Soccer. Drafted in 2010 by Philadelphia, he has made 143 career appearances with 87 starts. He was named to the MLS All-Star team in 2013.
With Montreal to start last season, McInerney appeared in 17 games with four goals. A late-season trade sent him to the Crew, where he had two goals in five games.
He is the youngest MLS player with at least 38 career goals.
The Timbers defeated Columbus for the MLS Cup title last season.
