New Atlanta United goalkeeper Brendan Moore may have been halfway across the world, but he’s always had a key eye on Atlanta United.
“I heard about Atlanta United before the franchise even started,” he says. “People had been hoping for it to happen for long before it did. For it to then come to fruition, then the success it has had has been amazing.”
There’s a reason he’s paid such close attention. Before going abroad to play in the English soccer pyramid, he was just a kid in Roswell, Georgia. He played in goal for Centennial High School and the Concorde Fire, before graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill.
