Dagny Brynjarsdottir is coming back to the Portland Thorns.

The Iceland Women’s National Team midfielder will rejoin the Thorns this season, a source confirmed to the Oregonian/OregonLive Friday.

Brynjarsdottir made 31 appearances (16 starts) for Portland from 2017-18, tallying five goals and two assists during that time and developing into a reliable and versatile option in the attack for the Thorns. Brynjarsdottir did not compete for the Thorns last season due to pregnancy.

Brynjarsdottir could be an important option for Portland throughout the year and should give the Thorns key experience and leadership in the attack while the club deals with the absence of other veteran players during the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup this summer. Iceland did not qualify for the World Cup.
