Five Stripes Alumni Report May 2025
Atlanta United Homegrown edition
This month, we’re going to check on a quartet of Five Stripes homegrown players and where their soccer travels have taken them since departing Atlanta United. Lots of young talent from the Atlanta United Academy and lots of great soccer memories being made around the world…
George Bello: LASK in Austrian Bundesliga
Bello has made 41 appearances for LASK in 2024-2025 across all competitions playing at left back. The 23-year old has two goals and three assists in the 3,465 minutes played. LASK are currently in first place in the unique Relegation Round format of the league sitting on 36 points. The top two in the Relegation Round play in a playoff to determine the final spot in Europe and are safe from relegation.
Caleb Wiley: Watford in English Championship (On loan from Chelsea FC)
Wiley has played 10 matches on loan for Watford this season at the left back position. The 20-year old Chelsea defender has provided one assist for the his 14th place Watford side putting them squarely mid-table. Wiley is working back from a shoulder injury he sustained on loan last year in France playing for Strasbourg that required surgery to repair the damage.
Machop Chol: FK Žalgiris Vilnius in Lithuanian First Division
Chol has featured in 8 matches for Zalgiris this season at the forward position. Zalgiris currently sit in 7th place in the league and Chol has started half the matches but is yet to record a goal or assist in 2025. After his release from Atlanta, Chol found his way to San Antonio FC in the USL Championship before the free transfer move to Europe.
Tyler Wolff: Real Salt Lake in MLS
Wolff has played nine matches for RSL this season without scoring a goal or assist in 2025. The 22-year old winger has made mostly second-half, cameo appearances with his new club as he is looking to find the nets and a regular spot in the RSL lineup. Real Salt Lake are in 11th place with 12 points on the season.
