George Bello, born on 22 January 2002 (age 24), is a United States left-back with LASK, where he wears the No 2 shirt.

Bello was already in Atlanta United’s first-team picture in 2018, a short league campaign that brought one goal in three appearances. For a defender, that remains his most productive league season in front of goal, which says as much about the sample size as anything else.

At LASK in 2026-27, he has made six Bundesliga appearances, along with two in Champions League qualifying and one in the Champions League proper. Across all competitions for the Austrian club, he has made nine appearances.

His career to date has taken him from Major League Soccer with Atlanta United to European football with LASK. He remains a developing full-back building a senior record across domestic and continental competition.
