The Portland Timbers have signed Slovenian goalkeeper Aljaz Ivacic, a source confirmed to the Oregonian/OregonLive Wednesday.

A report out of Slovenia Tuesday said that Portland had inked Ivacic to a two year contract with a salary of $150,000 in 2019.

Ivacic, 25, is a young, but proven goalkeeper. He has played for Slovenian top division side NK Olimpija Ljubljana since 2017, making 58 appearances and recording 24 clean sheets, according to transfermarkt.co.uk.

The signing of Ivacic will give the Timbers yet another option at goalkeeper and will help Portland with their succession planning at the position.

Starting goalkeeper Jeff Attinella will return to Portland this year. Portland has also reached a deal to bring back veteran goalkeeper Steve Clark. Goalkeeper Kendall McIntosh remains with the club, but is expected to go on loan this season.
