FULLERTON, Calif. – The Blues are excited to announce they have added striker Bright Dike on loan from the Portland Timbers. The 25-year-old, who appeared in 11 matches for the MLS side in 2011, joined Head Coach Charlie Naimo’s squad for yesterday’s training session in Fullerton and is expected to be with the club for the remainder of the current USL PRO campaign, with the Timbers reserving the right to recall him if needed.

"Portland contacted us and asked whether we’d be interested if the opportunity came up,” Naimo said. “It was a no-brainer for us and we feel very fortunate to be adding a classy player like Bright to our roster and hopefully have him here for a while to come.”
