The sports management firm is now looking to establish itself in the soccer universe. Without a doubt, announcing their deal with Jonathan Gomez would have proved to be a boost for both the player and the company.

Who is Jonathan Gomez?

Jonathan Gomez is one of the very few players who has represented Mexico and America both at the youth level. At the age of 19, the star fullback currently plays soccer in Spain. The USMNT youngster worked his way up through FC Dallas’ youth ranks. He moved to North Texas SC on loan for a season. In 2020, Louisville City FC was the first team to show faith in the star fullback and offer him his first-ever professional contract. In one and only season at the club, Gomez played 36 games and managed to score two goals.

After the season, he was named the 2021 USL Championship Young Player of the Year. Just a season later, the US soccer star was off to Spain. Gomez is still yet to make his senior debut for the Spanish soccer giants. After making a couple of appearances in America and Mexico’s youth teams, the star fullback made his debut for the USMNT in 2021. Since then, Gomez has also played a game for Mexico but is now likely to represent the USMNT permanently after getting his second cap a few days ago in 2023.
