HOW ACQUIRED: Claimed off waivers on Aug. 17, 2018. Re-signed on Dec. 20, 2019
A three-year starter for Columbus Crew SC from 2014-16, Clark started all but two regular season games in his tenure there. He is a technically sound goalkeeper whose steadiness was key in Columbus' run to the 2015 MLS Cup. He's hoping to do the same in Portland where he's been the regular No. 1 the last two seasons.
OUTSIDE MLS: Most recently played for AC Horsens of the Danish Superliga, where he signed after his departure from Columbus at the end of 2016. Started his professional career with Honefoss in Norway in 2010 and was named the first-choice goalkeeper in March 2011. Was a starter for the club for three seasons, helping them earn promotion to the Tippeligaen.
COLLEGE: Clark played collegiately at Oakland University from 2005-2008 and was a two-time All-Summit League player as a junior and senior.
