Leedsunited.com 2/7/21 LEEDS UNITED COMPLETE JACK HARRISON TRANSFER
Winger makes move permanent.
Leeds United are delighted to announce the permanent signing
of winger Jack Harrison from Manchester City.
Harrison has spent the past three seasons on loan with the
Whites, making 128 appearances in all competitions.
As part of his loan deal last season, an option was put in
place for Leeds to sign Harrison on a permanent deal for an undisclosed fee,
which has now been activated.
Harrison has put pen to paper on a three-year deal at Elland
Road, running until the summer of 2024.
After making his breakthrough in America with New York City,
he was signed by sister club Manchester City, before joining Middlesbrough on a
temporary basis.
Ahead of the 2018/19 season, Harrison made his first loan
move to Leeds and he made 37 league outings as the Whites reached the Sky Bet
Championship Play-Offs.
Returning for a second season in July 2019, Harrison
featured in every league game and netted six goals as Marcelo Bielsa’s side
made history and clinched the Sky Bet Championship title and a return to the
Premier League.
Last season, the 24-year-old continued to improve and shine
for the Whites and scored the club’s first top-flight goal in 16-years with his
strike against Liverpool.
In total, he played 36 times in the Premier League and
scored eight goals as Leeds recorded an impressive top-half finish.
Harrison becomes the club’s second signing of the summer
transfer window, following the arrival of Amari Miller.
