The former Nottingham Forest and Norwich City stopper is on the move.
Scotland number one Angus Gunn has remained in America after an exit from the World Cup - as he signs for MLS side San Jose Earthquakes.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper has joined the Quakes on a long-term contract after departing Premier League side Nottingham Forest. He had played a back-up role at the City Ground, having previously featured extensively for Norwich City, but now moves to the USA on a permanent basis.
Bruce Arena’s side are enjoying a good season and sit second in the Western Conference after just three defeats in 15 games. Gunn insists it was an exciting opportunity that he couldn’t say no to after exiting Nottingham Forest, citing his three games Stateside at the World Cup against Haiti, Morocco and Brazil prior to group stage elimination as part of his reasoning.

Who has Angus Gunn signed for?
He said: “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. We’re in a really good position for the playoffs, so hopefully we can focus on that with the right mentality.”
Arena commented: “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. We’re looking forward to integrating him into the club for the second half of the season and welcome him to San Jose.”
A San Jose Earthquakes statement adds: “The San Jose Earthquakes announced today that the club signed Scotland National Team goalkeeper Angus Gunn, previously of English Premier League side Nottingham Forest FC, as a free agent to a contract through the 2029-30 Major League Soccer season, pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC) and P-1 Visa.

Why have San Jose Earthquakes signed Angus Gunn?
“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 July 13. Gunn, 30, joins the Black and Blue fresh off playing for Scotland in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he started all three games in the group stage, earning a clean sheet as the team narrowly missed out on qualification to the knockout stage.
“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.”
