Atlanta United has made its first move of the offseason, bringing in midfielder/fullback Brooks Lennon from Real Salt Lake. Lennon played in the Liverpool Academy and already has more than 60 professional appearances in MLS at just 22 years old. ATLUTD.com sat down with Atlanta United Vice President & Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra about what the versatile young player brings to the club:
What did you see in Brooks Lennon and how does he fit into the team?
We’d seen Brooks in the U-20 World Cup, we’d seen him playing for Real Salt Lake. We tried to get him last year, and we were able to finally come to an agreement.
