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 the number 2 shirt.

His senior career took shape early at Atlanta United. The 2018 league season remains his most productive in front of goal, with one goal in three appearances – hardly a flood, but enough to mark his first steps in first-team football.

Bello has since moved on to LASK, continuing his career in Austria as a left-sided defender. In 2026-27, he has made three Bundesliga appearances for the club.

It is a career still in its working stages: from Atlanta United to LASK, with a clear position, steady senior experience, and room for the next part to define itself.
