That year he scored 15 goals in 29 regular season matches, was named to the 2014 MLS All-Star Team and became the league’s all-time leading Mexican goal-scorer. Torres went on to score seven goals in 15 appearances and returned for the 2014 campaign. He was loaned to Chivas USA from its then-sister club Chivas Guadalajara midway through the 2013 MLS season and was signed as a Designated Player. The striker played parts of five seasons in MLS from 2013-2017 where he amassed 36 goals in 93 MLS regular season matches. Prior to Tijuana, Torres spent the 2018 season with UNAM Pumas where he scored two goals in eight appearances. He spent the last two years playing in Liga MX, most recently with Club Tijuana where he scored seven goals in 37 appearances across all competitions. Torres, 27, joins Atlanta United with more than 230 professional appearances and 65 goals scored at the club level while also featuring for the Mexican National Team. “He has consistently shown his finishing abilities in MLS, Liga MX and on the international stage, and we expect him to immediately contribute to the second half of our season.” “Cubo is a natural goalscoring forward who will bolster our frontline and we’re pleased to add a player of his quality to the team,” Atlanta United Vice President and Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra said. He will be added to the roster pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC). Torres, who has a permanent resident card and will be registered as a domestic player, was out of contract after spending the last two seasons in Liga MX. However, the striker continued to train and played as a sub in Atlanta’s second leg 1-0 win over Club America in the 2020 Concacaf Champions League in December.Atlanta United announced today it has signed forward Erick “Cubo” Torres as a Season-Ending Injury Replacement Player. He totaled 492 league minutes, scoring one goal. Like many other players in the squad, Torres struggled in the attack under last season’s interim manager Stephen Glass as the then-27-year-old Mexican international dealt with fitness and injury issues. While he provides competition to our group of forwards, he’s a veteran presence who understands the league and has shown a willingness to mentor our younger players.”Ītlanta United is heavily stocked at the striker position now with Josef Martinez returning from injury, new signing Lisandro Lopez in from Racing Club, and newly-minted homegrown signing Jackson Conway.

“Cubo has been a positive influence on our organization and we’re pleased he has chosen to re-sign with the club. The club stated in its press release that Torres “will also take on a more direct role working alongside Academy players and staff.”Ĭlub Vice President and Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra added: Torres’ new deal will see him occupy a supplemental roster spot, which means his salary will not count against the club’s Salary Budget. Torres was signed in the middle of last season as a free agent, and his contract option was declined by the club at the end of the 2020 season. Atlanta United announced today that Erick “Cubo” Torres will be back with the team in 2021 after agreeing to a new deal.
