Caleb Ryan Wiley (born December 22, 2004) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Major League Soccer club Atlanta United and the United States national team. [2]
Wiley joined the Atlanta United academy at the age of 11, just before the professional outfit began their inaugural Major League Soccer season, [3] and was heavily involved with the club up until his debut with Atlanta United 2 in 2020.
