Fogaça departs Portland after three seasons with the club
PORTLAND, Ore. – The Portland Timbers today announced that the club has mutually parted ways with forward Nathan Fogaça. Originally signed in 2022, Fogaça departs the club after spending three seasons with Portland.

He has expressed his desire to look at other opportunities that might afford him the playing time he is seeking, and this decision allows him the ability to do so,” said Timbers General Manager Ned Grabavoy. “The Portland Timbers would like to wish Nathan all the best in his career going forward.”
Fogaça, 25, joined the Timbers on May 5 of the 2022 season.
