Jack Harrison has returned to the USA with the New England Revolution, aiming to bring another major title to the Boston area. The attacking midfielder previously spent two seasons on loan at Everton before returning to Leeds United upon their promotion to the Premier League. After a stint in Italy with Fiorentina, he now crosses the Atlantic.
Confidence in immediate impact
Revolution general manager Chris Tierney expressed confidence in Harrison's ability to contribute quickly. “Since breaking through in MLS, Jack has flourished on the game’s biggest stages in the English Premier League and Serie A, where he was an integral part of his Leeds, Everton, and Fiorentina squads. With Jack joining the Revolution, we are confident his creativity and game intelligence will help him make an immediate impact,” Tierney said.
Harrison’s recent form
Harrison’s time at Everton was turbulent, recording five goals and three assists in 73 appearances. Most came while the club battled crises under Sean Dyche, with a highlight being a clever lob against Bournemouth at Goodison Park. His impact diminished in his second season, and he struggled for chances after David Moyes returned. The 29-year-old was initially booed during preseason at Leeds, even with manager Daniel Farke eager to give him a chance. He scored once and had three assists while on loan in Serie A during the second half of last season.
Return to the US
A return to the US, where Harrison began his career with New York City FC, appeared likely, and the Revolution emerged as his destination. Harrison said, “As I considered my options, the decision to return to MLS and join the Revolution was the one that was most aligned with me. It ticked a lot of boxes that I was looking for. I’m absolutely happy to come back to MLS and be back in Massachusetts to a city that is full of champions in all other sports, and I’m hoping we can bring a title here to the city of champions.”
