Atlanta United announced today that it has signed Academy graduate Luke Brennan, 18, to a Homegrown Player contract that will go into effect on January 1, 2024. Until then, Brennan will play on a newly-signed professional deal with Atlanta United 2 in MLS Next Pro.
Brennan’s career broke out in 2022 when he began playing regularly for Atlanta United 2, playing over 1,000 minutes in 27 appearances (11 starts). The performances were enough for him to get a look in training camp with the United States U-19 National Team last summer.
More recently, Brennan made his name known to Atlanta United fans after scoring in the team’s marquee preseason friendly, the American Family Insurance Cup, against Toluca.
