Atlanta United’s 5-Stripes squad grew by three at the MLS SuperDraft in Philadelphia Friday.
The red, black and gold’s first pick was no. 14 in the first round, and they went with an attacker to add to the roster with Notre Dame standout Jon Gallagher.
Jon was an All-American for the Fighting Irish in 2017, finishing with 13 goals and two assists, including five game-winners. He finished with 39 goals in his NCAA career, including 36 in his last three seasons –– the most over a three-year stretch for Notre Dame in more than a decade.
“We like his work ethic,” said Atlanta United President Darren Eales.
