The Portland Thorns have signed Swiss forward Ana-Maria Crnogorcevic, a source confirmed to the Oregonian/OregonLive Wednesday.

The 27-year-old is expected to join the Thorns after receipt of her International Transfer Certificate (ITC).

Crnogorcevic is a member of the Switzerland Women's National Team and most recently played for German club FFC Frankfurt. Crnogorcevic has earned 100 caps with Switzerland, netting 50 international goals.

The Thorns made the move to sign Crnogorcevic after forward Caitlin Foord underwent surgery for a broken foot in February. Foord is expected to be out until at least July or August.
