Atlanta United today announced it has signed defender Edgar Castillo. The left back is a 13-year professional and a two-time champion of Liga MX where he played more than a decade before moving to MLS in 2018.
“Edgar is a veteran left back with experience in Liga MX, MLS and on the international level,” Atlanta United Vice President and Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra said. “Few American players have been as successful in Mexico as Edgar has and we’re pleased to have added him to the roster.”
Castillo, 33, is a native of Las Cruces, New Mexico and began his professional career with Santos Laguna in 2006, later winning the Liga MX Clausura title in 2008.
