Toronto FC has acquired goalkeeper Clint Irwin from the Colorado Rapids in a trade.

The 26-year-old Irwin, an all-star last season, has started 87 games with 25 shutouts over the last three seasons for the Rapids.

Toronto gave up its highest third-round pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft, a conditional 2017 first-rounder and targeted allocation money.

Toronto has been without a veteran 'keeper since December when it elected not to pick up the options on Chris Konopka and Joe Bendik.

Konopka started 21 games last season for Toronto while Bendik, the former No. 1, started 13.

Bendik was subsequently traded to Orlando City.
