When it comes to naming the star players on Atlanta United’s squad the past two seasons, Jeff Larentowicz isn’t typically the first player you’ll hear or even think of yourself.
But the 35-year-old who grew up in West Chester, Pa. has been a steady veteran presence on a team now one win away from capturing the league’s ultimate prize after a pair of seasons full of highlight-reel goals and record-setting crowds.
Now in his 14th season with his fifth club, Larentowicz has surpassed 400 career appearances (including postseason) and has rarely missed a game since he broke into the New England Revolution lineup as a second-year player back in 2006.
