PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Timbers have acquired forward Michael Seaton from D.C. United for targeted allocation money and an international roster spot.

The 19-year-old native of Jamaica also has U.S. citizenship. He originally signed with D.C. United in 2013. He spent much of his time there on loan to the USL's Richmond Kickers and a Swedish team. He played in five MLS regular-season games.

Seaton has made 13 appearances with the Jamaican national team and was on the roster during this year's CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament. He was a late-game substitute in the loss to Mexico in the championship match.
