Atlanta United announced Tuesday that it extended the loan of Ronaldo Cisneros through the end of the MLS season.
Cisneros, 25, is on loan from Chivas in Mexican pro league LIGA MX. He was brought to Atlanta United in March as cover for Josef Martinez.
Cisneros, who has played striker or on the left wing, is tied for the team lead with four goals in league competition. Cisneros said many times he hoped the loan would be extended, and there is an option to purchase Cisneros from Chivas at the end of the loan.
“The kid is good, the kid is playing, the kid is doing the right things,” manager Gonzalo Pineda said. “I think he fits the culture and the type of player we want in Atlanta United. So I’m very happy.”
Cisneros came up through Santos Laguna, where he made 121 appearances and scored 22 goals before signing with Chivas before the 2018 Clausura season.
Atlanta United will play at the Red Bulls on Thursday.
