The Portland Timbers signed goalkeeper Justin Vom Steeg for the 2022 season. There are club options on his contract for 2023 and 2024.
Vom Steeg is 6'4" and 181 lbs. He's 24, a former USYNT guy who's had a quick stop in Bundesliga II. Seems like a solid backup option to round out the GK room.#RCTID https://t.co/wGlV7l5gzt

Vom Steeg has 58 appearances (13 clean sheets) for LA Galaxy II. He played 13 games for Fortuna Dusseldorf II in Germany, but never cracked their first team XI.
He will almost certainly be the Timbers’ third-string GK. David Bingham and Aljaz Ivacic will fight for the starting spot, while Hunter Sulte will likely stick with Timbers 2.
Portland lost a pair of ‘keepers — Jeff Attinella and Steve Clark — over the offseason.
