Former Rangers striker Kris Boyd has agreed to join MLS outfit Portland Timbers. Boyd was a free agent after being released by Turkish outfit Eskisehirspor in December and despite interest from a number of SPL and Championship clubs, opted for a switch to the lucrative MLS.
Timbers are coached by former Scotland striker John Spencer and Boyd is expected to earn something in the region of £1.4m a year. He has agreed a three year deal with the West Coast outfit and will join them in the States very soon.
Houston Dynamo were also interested in Boyd but he opted for Portland after holding talks with Spencer regarding his role at the MLS club.
