Bloom enjoying life back home in Atlanta, but welcomes return to Toronto
TORONTO — Mark Bloom circled the date on his calendar as soon as the MLS schedule came out.
The former Toronto FC defender returns to BMO Field on Saturday, this time as a member of expansion Atlanta United.
“I kind of left in a hurry so it will be nice to come back and see everybody once again in not such a rushed state,” said Bloom. “(I’m) looking forward to the experience … I’m excited.”
Bloom’s four-year stint in Toronto ended abruptly in December when TFC traded him to Atlanta to get starting goalkeeper Clint Irwin back after the Georgia team took him in the expansion draft.
