After eight years, four promotions campaigns, and one unforgettable title charge, Jack Harrison has left Leeds United for good and it’s time Whites fans gave him the send-off he deserves.
Harrison’s permanent move to New England Revolution closes the book on one of the more complicated modern Leeds careers a player who arrived as a loanee under Bielsa and leaves as a club legend with a very mixed relationship with the fanbase.
How It Started
Harrison first joined Leeds on a season-long loan from Manchester City ahead of the 2018/19 Championship campaign, arriving as a 21-year-old England U21 international still searching for his senior breakthrough. He’d previously spent time with New York City FC and had a loan spell at Middlesbrough before City sent him to Elland Road.
What followed was a permanent switch in 2021 and a central role in Leeds’ promotion push and subsequent Premier League survival battles 219 total appearances and 66 goal involvements in a Leeds shirt across all competitions, making him one of the more heavily used wide players of the Bielsa and post-Bielsa years.
The Long Goodbye
The last three seasons told a different story. Harrison spent the majority of that stretch out on loan twice at Everton, then at Fiorentina as his role at Elland Road diminished following relegation and the managerial changes that followed. It’s the kind of slow fade that leaves fans divided: some remember the highs of the promotion push, others only the drawn-out exit.
Leeds have now confirmed the permanent transfer to New England Revolution for an undisclosed fee, with Harrison signing a Designated Player deal in MLS through 2029-30.
What Leeds Fans Are Left With
However you rate his final years, the numbers don’t lie: over 100 goal contributions across 181 Premier League and Championship appearances for Leeds and Everton combined, and a role in some of the club’s most talked-about seasons of the last decade.
Bottom line for the Leeds faithful: love him or feel indifferent by the end, Harrison’s Elland Road chapter is done. Now it’s just a matter of what if anything the club does with the money.
