Overview
- Angus Gunn signed with the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday in a free transfer from Nottingham Forest and agreed to a contract that runs through the end of the 2030 MLS season.
- The club said sporting director and head coach Bruce Arena will integrate Gunn immediately as a midseason reinforcement to push for stronger results in the run to the playoffs.
- Gunn will compete for the starting goalkeeper role with incumbent Daniel and Earl William Edwards Jr., and media reports that San Jose may pursue a trade of Daniel to FC Dallas are developing and unconfirmed.
- The 30-year-old Scotland international has about 25 senior caps, started all three group matches at the recent World Cup including a shutout vs Haiti, and brings roughly 198 appearances across England’s top two divisions.
- San Jose return to MLS play on July 22 and the club’s high standing in the Western Conference makes this an immediate roster move that could change playing time for current keepers and trigger transfer activity in the coming weeks.
