Atlanta United today announced it has waived defender Jack Gurr.
“We want to thank Jack for his time and service to the club over the last two years,” Atlanta United Vice President and Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra said. “We wish him the best of luck in his future.”
Gurr originally signed with ATL UTD 2 on Dec. 5, 2019. He started 15 games that year at the USL Championship, scoring one goal and adding three assists. He made his First Team debut on Dec. 16, 2020, coming on in the 76th minute in Atlanta’s 1-0 win over Club America after signing a Short-Term Agreement the day prior. Gurr then signed a semi-guaranteed contract with the First Team on April 5, 2021 and made one appearance, playing 45 minutes against Chicago Fire SC on April 24.
Per MLS rules, a club may place a player on Waivers at any time during the regular season at which point he is made available to all other MLS clubs. The Waiver Claiming Period shall commence on the first business day after the League delivers notice to clubs and expires at 5 p.m. ET on the second business day. If a player is not selected off Waivers (“clears Waivers”) then that player is available to all MLS clubs on a first-come, first-served basis. More information on waivers can be found here.
