San Jose Earthquakes have completed the signing of Scotland international goalkeeper Angus Gunn on a free transfer after his contract with Premier League side Nottingham Forest expired. The 30-year-old, who was Scotland's first-choice at the recent 2026 World Cup, has put pen to paper on a deal that runs until the end of the 2030 MLS season.
Gunn's Move to California
Gunn becomes the latest high-profile addition to San Jose Earthquakes as they aim to sustain a strong push for silverware. Speaking to the club's official website, the goalkeeper expressed his excitement:
"It feels incredible to join the Earthquakes. Coming off the World Cup, which was an unbelievable experience, I'm just really excited and grateful for the opportunity to come to San Jose and show the best version of myself."
Title Ambitions in San Jose
Managed by veteran coach Bruce Arena, the Earthquakes currently sit second in the Western Conference, level on points with Vancouver Whitecaps but with a game more played. They are also third in the overall Supporters' Shield standings, firmly in contention for top honours. Gunn arrives with the clear objective of helping the club mount a serious MLS Cup challenge.
The shot-stopper brings a wealth of experience from English football, having made over 100 appearances for Nottingham Forest since joining from Southampton in 2024. He also earned 25 caps for Scotland, cementing his place as the nation's number one during their World Cup campaign.
