The long speculated rumor of Jurgen Damm coming to MLS was announced as expected Wednesday when Atlanta United revealed the free agent signing at the earliest possible opportunity following the expiration of the player’s contract with Tigres.
With Damm arrives ... baggage (fireworks and El Pollo Loco aside). He’s a player that never lived up to the lofty sights many within the Mexican Federation set for him as he broke out with Pachuca in his early 20s. Now 27 years old and having seen himself passed over by Tigres manager Tuca Ferretti, Damm will hope he can revitalize his career in MLS for a team traditionally known for its attacking potency.
