Young Jake Gleeson and former All White Gavin Wilkinson have created history with their Portland Timbers U23 side. Goalkeeper Gleeson and Coach Wilkinson have just won the USL Premier Development League title, and became the first team to ever do so with a perfect record (20-0-0) when they defeated the Thunder Bay Chill 4-1 in the championship match on Saturday.
The USL Premier Development League is considered the top amateur competion in the US and a shop window for MLS franchises. Following his naming in the Western All-Conference U-23 team after a standout season for the Timbers, Gleeson is really making a name for himself in the US. At only 20, he has a big future ahead of him.
