Gavin Wilkinson took time off recently to attend his brother’s wedding in Melbourne, Australia. Wilkinson also conducted a little business while he was away.
The second-year coach and general manager of the Portland Timbers signed one player from his native New Zealand and says he is closing in on a contract with another young forward from there.
Wilkinson, who returned a few days ago, opened training camp Monday with 12 players who were part of the 2007 Timber team that made it to the United Soccer Leagues First Division semifinals before losing a home game.
Wilkinson says the only other player from last season’s squad who might return is defender Justin Thompson, For now, Thompson is tending to another business opportunity in British Columbia.
“Justin would be a key figure, alongside Cameron Knowles in the back,” Wilkinson says.
