Aberdeen FC fullback Ronald Hernandez will join Atlanta United on a permanent transfer after club Vice President Carlos Bocanegra told media on a conference call Tuesday that the clubs had agreed to a deal. Bocanegra did not disclose any other terms of the deal.
Hernandez had a successful spell on loan with Atlanta last season. He was slow to get much playing time under Gabriel Heinze who elected to use other players, but immediately started under interim Rob Valentino and continued to impress under Gonzalo Pineda.
Hernandez had an even more successful season for his national team as he scored a goal against Ecuador in Copa America and and assisted in a World Cup Qualifier.
