Atlanta United 2 defender Tyler Ruthven today announced his intent to retire from professional soccer at end of the 2019 season. The 31-year-old center back played 10 professional seasons, including the last two with ATL UTD 2.
“We want to thank Tyler for his service to the club and wish him the best of luck going forward,” Atlanta United 2 head coach Stephen Glass said. “Over the last year, Tyler has been a first-class professional and his leadership skills, both on-and-off the field, have been invaluable to the younger players on our team.”
Born in Alpharetta, Ruthven signed with ATL UTD 2 on Aug.
