Ugandan star Brian Umony could make his debut with Portland Timbers in the Major League Soccer this Saturday when the club opens the championship against defending champions Colorado Rapids at Dicks Sporting Goods Park.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old was a 39th minute substitute in Portland’s 1-1 draw with San Jose on Saturday, their last pre-season friendly, and following a string of impressive month-long trial displays, he is in line to play part this weekend.<\/p>\n

Umony, who is still contracted to South Africa’s SuperSport United until December, started this season at Second Division side Pretoria Tuks University on loan from where he was released to join Portland.<\/p>\n

He agreed with the club mid last month a year-long loan deal which he signed last week. The new deal will keep Umony at Portland until the end of the MLS season that kicks off this weekend.<\/p>\n

Portland have the option to buy him at the end of the year depending on his performance. “I’m waiting for my ICT from SuperSport, it should be in a day or two,” Umony told The Monitor.
Umony, who has scored eight goals in 10 games for his country, is also included on the 24-man provisional squad named by Cranes coach Bobby Williamson last month for AFCON qualifier against Guinea Bissau on March 26.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
