Dane Brekken “Brek” Shea... He is perhaps the most surprising signing in Atlanta United history. That the team needed some help at left back was well known. Chris McCann was taking up a lot of salary cap space and Greg Garza was often injured so the team parted ways with them. George Bello seemed set to make the leap to a starter, but he is young and would need a backup. At first, it seemed like that’s what Shea would bring - depth from the bench. But with yet more injuries to Bello, Mikey Ambrose being serviceable but not exactly great (and also injured), and Michael Parkhurst being a more defensive option, Brek Shea has emerged as the starting left back for the Atlanta United Football Club.
