Atlanta United today announced it has signed Machop Chol as a Homegrown Player. Chop was an original member of Atlanta United’s U-18s during the Academy’s inaugural 2016-17 season and has played the last four seasons at Wake Forest.
“Machop was one of the top collegiate players in the country this past season and we’re happy to welcome him back to the club,” Atlanta United Vice President and Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra said. “As an original member of our Academy, it has been gratifying to see him continue to develop at the collegiate level. He’s proven that there are several routes to becoming a professional and his pathway should be inspiration to all of our Academy players.
