Atlanta United 2 today announced it has acquired goalkeeper Rocco Ríos Novo on loan from Argentina’s Club Atlético Lanús for the 2021 USL Championship season.
“We are fortunate to bring in Rocco on loan this season and have him compete within our goalkeeping group,” ATL UTD 2 head coach Stephen Glass said. “Rocco has been a mainstay among Argentina’s Youth National Teams since he was 15 years old and we are excited to have the opportunity to work with him.”
Ríos Novo, 18, was born in Los Angeles, California but moved to Argentina at a young age where he joined Lanús’ youth academy.
