The Colorado Rapids acquired goalkeeper Marko Ilic on loan from Belgium’s KV Kortrijk.

The deal announced Friday runs through July 2023 and includes an option to buy.

The 25-year-old Serbian recorded 16 shutouts in 71 appearances over three seasons with Kortrijk.

“Marko is an athletic goalkeeper who is not only a good shot stopper, but also good with his feet, a strong passer who can help us build out from the back,” Rapids general manager Padraig Smith said in a news release.

Ilic played for the Serbian clubs Vojvodina and Vozdovac before signing with Kortrijk.

He earned his first cap for the Serbian national team in a friendly against Jamaica on June 7, 2021.
