Revolution Sign Jack Harrison as Designated Player

The club expects his European experience plus local ties to boost New England’s attack, pending clearance of a P‑1 visa, an international transfer certificate.

Overview

  • New England announced the signing and formally introduced Jack Harrison to fans before kickoff in the club’s 4-1 home win over Atlanta United on Saturday, where he received a warm reception.
  • The contract is reported to run through the 2029–30 MLS season but remains conditional on Harrison obtaining a P‑1 visa and an international transfer certificate before he can play.
  • Harrison, 29, joins from Leeds United after loan spells at Everton and Fiorentina and returns to MLS as a Designated Player, a roster slot that lets the club pay above the league’s salary charge.
  • A former No. 1 MLS SuperDraft pick and MLS Rookie of the Year with New York City FC, Harrison brings Premier League experience and the ability to both score and create chances.
  • The signing ties a local storyline to roster needs: Harrison grew up partly in Massachusetts at Berkshire School, and New England hopes his arrival will shore up an attack that has shown flashes but uneven production this season.
