The San Jose Earthquakes went across the pond to find a new goalkeeper. Or more accurately, he came to them.
San Jose announced Wednesday that Scotland national team keeper Angus Gunn, previously of English Premier League side Nottingham Forest FC, has signed with the Quakes through the 2029-30 Major League Soccer season, pending the receipt of hisinternational transfer certificate and P-1 visa.
Gunn will occupy an international roster slot that the LA Galaxy originally acquired from the Earthquakes on Feb. 6 but are obligated to return to San Jose at the opening of the Secondary Transfer Window on Monday.
“We’re pleased to sign a quality goalkeeper in Angus Gunn with English Premier League and international experience, most recently as a starter at the World Cup,” said Earthquakes sporting director and head coach Bruce Arena in a news release. “We’re looking forward to integrating him into the club for the second half of the season and welcome him to San Jose.”
Gunn, 30, joins San Jose fresh off playing for Scotland in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he started all three games in the group stage, earning one clean sheet as the team narrowly missed out on qualification to the knockout stage.
“It feels incredible to join the Earthquakes,” Gunn said in the release. “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. We’re in a really good position for the playoffs, so hopefully we can focus on that with the right mentality.”
At club level, Gunn has made 198 combined league appearances in the top two tiers of English football — the Premier League and the Championship — over the past nine seasons. He also has 18 appearances in domestic cup play.
The shot-stopper spent the past season in the EPL with Nottingham Forest, with whom he signed in August 2025 after four seasons with Norwich City FC. He made only one appearance for Nottingham Forest last season.
During his time with Norwich City, Gunn established himself as its first-choice keeper, recording 114 total appearances in league play as Norwich City migrated from the Premier League to the Championship. In 2023-24, Gunn played in 40 league matches to help lead the Canaries to the Championship playoffs, where they fell in the semifinals.
