The New England Revolution announced this week that they have secured the services of English winger Jack Harrison, signing him to a contract that runs through the 2029‑30 MLS season. The deal brings a player with Premier League and Serie A experience back to the United States, where he first made his name in MLS.
Harrison’s journey began in the MLS with New York City FC, where his performances earned him a move to Manchester City. After stints at Everton, Middlesbrough and Fiorentina, the 29‑year‑old helped Leeds United clinch the EFL Championship in 2019‑20, securing promotion to the English top flight.
Across his club career he has recorded 40 goals and supplied 37 assists in 318 appearances, a testament to his ability to influence games both in attack and in the final third. His versatility and work rate have made him a sought‑after talent, and the Revolution hope his arrival will sharpen their offensive options.
General manager Chris Tierney praised the signing, noting Harrison’s experience in top‑level competitions and his familiarity with the league’s demands. “Jack brings a blend of skill, intelligence and Premier League pedigree that aligns perfectly with our ambitions,” Tierney said in the announcement.
The Revolution currently sit fourth in the Eastern Conference with 26 points, a position that reflects a solid start to the campaign but also underscores the need for a spark as the season progresses. Harrison’s addition is timed with the league’s resurgence following the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup, a period that has reignited fan interest across the continent.
A Homecoming for a New England Native
Beyond the pitch, Harrison’s personal story resonates with New England roots. He attended the prestigious Berkshire School before playing college soccer at Wake Forest, experiences that have kept him connected to the region’s sporting culture.
He will join a cadre of key figures that includes midfield maestro Carles Gil, forward Luca Langoni and striker Dor Turgeman, forming a dynamic attacking trio that the coaching staff believes can challenge for silverware.
The club’s fan base has greeted the news with optimism, hoping that Harrison’s Premier League pedigree will translate into goals and assists that could propel the Revolution deep into the playoffs. As the MLS season unfolds, all eyes will be on how quickly the Englishman adapts to the league’s unique rhythm.
