On 11 July 2020, at just 17 years-old, Fortune made his professional debut for Atlanta United 2, the USL Championship affiliate of Atlanta United. [2] That same season Fortune scored his first professional goal against Miami FC with a right-footed strike from outside the box. [3]
On 27 August 2021, Fortune signed a professional contract with Atlanta United 2.[4]
After a series of impressive performances for Atlanta United 2, Atlanta United rewarded Fortune with a first-team contract at the club, becoming just the 14th player in franchise history to transition from the academy to the first-team. Fortune was then named by head coach Jack Collison as team captain for Atlanta United 2 for the remainder of the 2022 USL season. [5]
