Atlanta United defender Julian Gressel battles DC United’s Jamaican midfielder Oniel Fisher (right) in the first half of a Major League Soccer game at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia on Sunday, March 11, 2018.
Reggae Boyz defender Oniel Fisher is now searching for a new club after DC United chose not to offer him a new contract for the 2021 Major League Soccer (MLS) season.
