George Bello

George Bello of LASK was born in Abuja, Nigeria on 22 January 2002 (age 24).

George Bello, born on 22 January 2002 (age 24), is an American left back with LASK, where he wears squad number two.

He first came through prominently at Atlanta United. His most productive league return there came in 2018, when he scored one goal in three appearances – a small sample, but an early marker in a senior career that began young.

Bello is now with LASK. In 2026–27 he has made three Bundesliga appearances and one in Champions League qualifying, giving him four appearances across all competitions for the Austrian club.

His career so far has taken him from Atlanta United to LASK, with his role centred on the left side of defence. He remains an established professional rather than a finished article.
