Atlanta United announced the signing Ben Lundgaard as its third goalkeeper Thursday.
Lundgaard, 25, played for Atlanta United 2 last season, appearing in 13 games and making 47 saves, including stopping two penalty kicks.
“Ben has been a model of consistency and hard work since joining Atlanta United 2, and he’s earned an opportunity with the first team,” Atlanta United Vice President Carlos Bocanegra said in a statement from the team. “He’s still young for his position and has a great opportunity to learn from our current group of goalkeepers, while providing additional competition.”
Brad Guzan is Atlanta United’s starting goalkeeper, and Alec Kann is second on the depth chart.
Atlanta United 2 signed goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo on loan from Lanus in Argentina on Tuesday for this season.
