Atlanta United announced today it has signed Jackson Conway as a Homegrown Player, effective immediately. The forward led Atlanta United 2 in goals during the 2020 season and turned 19 years old today.
“We’re happy to see Jackson’s continued development and it’s a complement to his hard work that he’s earned a First Team contract,” Atlanta United Vice President and Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra said. “Jackson is a great example of our club’s pathway to the professional level as he joined our Academy program prior to its first season with the dream of becoming an MLS player. He worked his way through our system and after excelling in the USL Championship last season, he deserves an opportunity at the next level.
