Harrison’s Career Path and MLS Experience
Harrison first arrived in the United States at age 14 to attend the Berkshire School in Massachusetts, a region near the Revolution’s stadium. He launched his professional career with NYCFC, spending two seasons before transferring to Manchester City. Subsequent loans took him to Middlesbrough, then to Leeds United, where he became a regular from 2018 through 2023. After Leeds’ 2023 relegation, Harrison spent two seasons on loan at Everton while Leeds competed in the Championship, returning to Elland Road for the first half of the 2025-26 season after Leeds earned promotion back to the Premier League.
Statistical Profile
- Leeds United appearances: 219 matches.
- 2019-20 Championship season: featured in all 46 games, contributing to Leeds’ title win.
- 2020-21 Premier League season: recorded eight goals and eight assists, helping the club avoid relegation.
- 2024-25 loan at Fiorentina (Serie A): one goal and three assists.
These figures, supplied by the same sources, illustrate Harrison’s consistent involvement at both domestic and European levels.
Impact on the Revolution’s Attack
New England sits fourth in the Eastern Conference with 26 points after 15 matches. Adding Harrison, a player familiar with the American game and capable of delivering goals and assists, is expected to bolster the team’s offensive options alongside Carles Gil, the former MLS MVP, and Israel international Dor Turgeman. The designated-player slot signals the club’s intent to compete more aggressively as the MLS season resumes.
What’s Next
The deal remains subject to final contract terms and league approval. If completed, Harrison will join the Revolution’s roster before the league’s next matchday, providing an immediate boost to a squad seeking to improve its standing in the conference.
