FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution are actively working through the summer transfer window, focusing on enhancing their squad while ensuring that new signings align with the team's culture and identity. With the addition of English winger Jack Harrison, the Revolution have not only bolstered their attacking options but have also welcomed a player who embodies the club's vision.

Character and Fit

General Manager and Chief Soccer Officer Chris Tierney emphasized the importance of Harrison's character and experience. “Equally as important as Jack's on-field abilities is the type of character, the type of experience that Jack brings to our group,” Tierney stated. He believes that Harrison's dynamic attacking style will complement the existing players and contribute positively to the team environment. “I think Jack is going to combine really well with the other pieces that we have,” he added, highlighting the cultural fit that Harrison brings to the Revolution.

A Return to Familiar Ground

At 29 years old, Harrison is returning to MLS after a successful stint in Europe, where he played in Italy’s Serie A and made over 180 appearances in the English Premier League with Leeds United and Everton. His time at Leeds was particularly notable, with 219 appearances and 66 goal involvements. Harrison initially joined the Premier League in 2018 after two seasons with New York City FC, and he returns to the U.S. with a record of 14 goals and 13 assists in MLS.

Harrison's connection to New England runs deep, as he spent his formative years in the area. At just 14, he moved from England to attend the Berkshire School in Sheffield, Massachusetts, where he completed his high school education. He was recognized as the 2015 Gatorade National Boys Soccer Player of the Year and played one season at Wake Forest University. Reflecting on his return, Harrison expressed, “Being here at Berkshire School and everything, and having a lot of friends in this area, it definitely feels like a homecoming.” He acknowledged the significant impact that his time in New England had on his development, stating, “I really think that time period helped to define who I am today.”

As the Revolution continue to build their roster, Harrison's return not only strengthens their attacking options but also reinforces the team's commitment to fostering a positive and cohesive environment.
