PORTLAND, Ore. – The Portland Timbers 2 announced on Thursday the club had acquired former Honduras U20 international Darixon Vuelto from Liga Nacional side C.D. Victoria on loan for the 2018 USL campaign, with an option to purchase. Vuelto will be added to T2’s roster pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P-1 visa, in addition to league and federation approval.

Vuelto joins Portland having made more than 70 professional appearances since making his professional debut as a 15-year-old with C.D. Victoria in Honduras, when he started and played 68 minutes against C.D. Olimpia on Sept. 7, 2013. A native of Sambo Creek, Honduras, Vuelto most recently played for Honduran side Real C.D. España, on loan from C.D. Victoria, during the 2017-18 Liga Nacional campaign, where he made 28 appearances (23 starts) and scored 10 goals.

Additionally, Vuelto became the youngest goal-scorer in CONCACAF Champions League history when he registered a goal in C.D. Victoria’s 4-1 loss to Club Deportivo Luis Ángel Firpo on Oct. 23, 2013.
