American defender Miles Robinson signs with Cincinnati, leaving Atlanta

CINCINNATI (AP) — U.S. national team defender Miles Robinson signed a one-year contract with Major League Soccer’s Cincinnati, leaving Atlanta after seven seasons.

The deal includes a team option for 2025, Cincinnati said Wednesday.

The 26-year-old has 27 international appearances. He started 11 of 14 qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup but missed the tournament after rupturing his left Achilles during a game with Atlanta on May 7, 2022.

Robinson returned to action with Atlanta last Feb. 25 and played in 27 league games during the 2023 regular season.

His 117th-minute goal lifted the United States over Mexico 1-0 in the final of the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
