TEENAGE STRIKER MICHAEL Harris is set for a move from Derry City to Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer, The42 understands.
He is set to sign a two-year deal with the American side, who topped the MLS’ Western Conference in 2021 before crashing to a play-off defeat.
Harris spent last season on the fringes of the Derry first team, and scored the winning penalty in Derry’s U19 Enda McGuill Cup shootout victory over Bohs, a team managed by Jim McGuinness.
He was offered a contract renewal at Derry but manager Ruaidhri Higgins, admitting the club were competing with UK clubs for his services. Harris had trials with a number of British clubs including Celtic, but has ultimately set for a move Stateside instead.
