Linfield midfielder Jamie Mulgrew is attracting interest from MLS expansion franchise Portland Timbers.

The 24-year old, who has made two appearances for the Northern Ireland national team, could be on his way to the USA according to reports.

An article in The Scotsman suggests that the Mulgrew is wanted by Scottish Premier League clubs Hibernian and Kilmarnock but went on to say that they will face competition from Portland who are also showing considerable interest.

Mulgrew has been with Linfield in the Irish Football Association (IFA) Premiership since 2005, and has won four league titles and four Irish cups with the Blues.
