Atlanta United academy product Jackson Conway scores incredible goal in USL Championship match

Jackson Conway - Atlanta United 2 - Dribbling

The MLS is Back Tournament is underway, but the USL Championship also returned on Saturday, and that means Homegrown player watch is back on.


Atlanta United 2 forward Jackson Conway wasted no time adding to his personal highlight reel with play back underway, uncorking a gorgeous golazo from distance just 11 minutes after kickoff in his team's match against the Tampa Bay Rowdies on Saturday. Watch it below.

What a finish indeed for the 18-year-old English-born forward, who now has six USL goals in 34 appearances since signing with Atlanta United 2 in 2018.


This isn't the first time Conway has conjured up a ridiculous highlight. Playing for the Atlanta United academy back in 2016, Conway caught a goalkeeper off his line and cashed home the finish from beyond midfield in Sportscenter-worthy fashion.

We don't know how long it'll take for Conway to work his way to getting a first-team deal, but one thing seems certain: Kid has serious range.
