Atlanta United announced that goalkeeper Ben Lundgaard signed his first MLS contract as part of his promotion from Atlanta United 2. Lundgaard is under contract for the 2021 season with options for two additional seasons, and will likely fill one of the team’s remaining Supplemental Roster Slots.
“Ben has been a model of consistency and hard work since joining Atlanta United 2 and he’s earned an opportunity with the First Team,” Atlanta United Vice President and Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra said. “He’s still young for his position and has a great opportunity to learn from our current group of goalkeepers, while providing additional competition.
