What went right in 2021

Jackson Conway entered 2021 on a high. He scored the decisive goal for Atlanta United in their 1-0 win over Club America soon after signing his Homegrown Contract and looked to be a regular role player for Atlanta United under their new head coach with Josef Martinez on the mend.

Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan for the young striker who saw little of the field and often found himself behind Cubo Torres as the first-choice option off of the bench so the firing of Gabriel Heinze and a chance to reset under new coach Gonzalo Pineda may be exactly what Conway needs.
