Ambrose had 2 spells with Atlanta United: first from 2017-2019 and then from 2021-2022. During his 1st stint, he played 3 times while on loan with the Charleston Battery in 2017 and made 18 appearances with ATL UTD 2 in its inaugural season in 2018. He’ll be remembered for a pair of free-kick goals he scored against Toronto FC II that year.
