Atlanta United announced it has signed one of its own, fullback Jack Gurr, from the club’s USL side. Gurr will be registered on the MLS roster to start the 2021 season after signing a semi-guaranteed contract.
The Newcastle, England native was a four-year starter at Georgia Gwinnett College from 2014-2017 where he was among the program’s most accomplished players. He parlayed that success and two years playing for the Georgia Revolution in the NPSL into a deal with Atlanta United 2 in 2020.
Gurr played well in a disrupted 2020 season, scoring once and assisting three times in 16 games from his right back position.
