  Carson, CA (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Galaxy signed defenders Vardan Adzemian and Scott Bolkan to Developmental contracts and will loan them to the Portland Timbers of the USL First Division, the Major League Soccer club announced on Monday.

  "We have had a strong relationship with the Timbers for a number of years and I am glad that we can continue that relationship here by loaning them a pair of players who can benefit their team this season," Galaxy Director of Soccer Paul Bravo said. "Both Vardan and Scott are good young players and we feel that their experience in Portland will serve them well in their professional careers."

  A veteran of the MLS Reserve Division where he has played with Chivas USA, the Chicago Fire and Kansas City Wizards, Adzemian played for PDL side Ventura County Fusion in '07. Bolkan spent four years at Stanford where he was a three-time All-Pac 10 performer, including a first team selection as a senior in '07 when he scored a career-high three goals.

  The Galaxy will be back in action on Saturday when they host the Houston Dynamo at The Home Depot Center in an MLS fixture.
