Atlanta United announced today it has signed defender Tyrone Mears. Atlanta previously acquired Mears’ rights from Seattle in exchange for $50,000 in General Allocation Money.
“We’re happy to add another veteran piece to our back four,” Atlanta United president Darren Eales said. “Tyrone has a great deal of experience and has helped his clubs achieve success wherever he’s played, including winning MLS Cup this past season and also helping his teams secure promotion twice while playing in England.”
Mears, 33, comes to Atlanta after two successful seasons with Seattle which ended in winning the 2016 MLS Cup.
