HARTFORD, Conn. - Hartford Athletic has signed forward Bradford Jamieson IV pending league and federation approval.
At just seventeen years old, Jamieson IV signed a homegrown contract with the LA Galaxy.

Alternating back and forth between the two sides in his rookie season, Jamieson IV was named a finalist for USL Pro "Rookie of the Year" in 2014. He stayed with the club until the 2019 season where he went on loan with fellow USL Championship side San Antonio FC.
