The Timbers took a wait and see approach but they've now signed Franck Songo'o to a contract.

They liked him after his first week in camp, but wanted to watch him perform in a preseason game.

Songo'o assisted on the Timbers' first two goals in the 4-1 win against the Galaxy Feb. 7 and any doubt was erased.

Songo'o has competed in the English Premier League and in Spain. Two of the top leagues in the world, during his career.
