Who is Gunn and where is he joining?

Gunn is a Scotland international goalkeeper who has signed with MLS club San Jose Earthquakes to bolster their goalkeeping options.

Will Gunn be the immediate starter for San Jose?

Not guaranteed; he arrives to compete with JT Marcinkowski for the starting spot, and the coaching staff will assess form and fit in training and early matches.

Does this move affect Gunn's Scotland prospects?

Playing regularly in MLS can keep him in the national team picture if he secures minutes and performs consistently, so the move is unlikely to harm his prospects.

San Jose Buys Control: Scotland Keeper Gunn Arrives to Stabilise Quakes

San Jose Earthquakes have completed the signing of Scotland goalkeeper Gunn, a move that immediately upgrades the club’s options between the sticks. The club made the announcement today, underlining that bringing in an internationally recognised keeper is central to their offseason plan. This is not a stop-gap; it is a targeted piece in a team that has sought greater consistency at the back.

Gunn arrives as a goalkeeper known for strong shot-stopping and calm, organised distribution under pressure, traits MLS teams value when building from the back. His arrival creates a clear competitive dynamic with incumbent JT Marcinkowski, forcing a healthy selection headache for the coaching staff. For San Jose, the prize is not only individual quality but improved defensive organisation across set plays and transitions.

From Scotland’s perspective, Gunn’s move to MLS keeps him in the spotlight while offering regular minutes if he wins the job, which matters for national team consideration. The adaptation to MLS — travel, artificial surfaces, and varied attacking styles — will be a test, but one that should sharpen his command of the penalty area. The transfer also signals MLS’s continued ability to attract internationals who can contribute immediately.

The Guru’s read is blunt: Gunn will not be a bit-player. Expect him to push for the starting berth inside the season and to give San Jose a steadier base from which to build. My recommendation: the Earthquakes now need to pair him with a tougher central defender and better protection in midfield to convert his saves into points; with that, Gunn becomes a transformational signing rather than a mere upgrade.
