Jack Harrison [Midfielder]

I feel like CFG should be using Jack's story has a way to get us talent from other countries directly in the academy. Can't think of the logistics but I'm not the one getting paid millions to figure it out.
I kinda get that, but he never really was in our academy, right? He just played for an affiliated team for a season or something like that?

Or would the story be about how he took advantage of his playing time here and leveraged that along with his citizenship status in the UK to a contract in his home country and worked his way up to starter in the PL?

Yep your last paragraph. Like playing in MLS can get more eyes on you than being lost in the lower league madness. If you're a late bloomer who didn't get snatched up by a big club, you can come raise your profile here.

We now have 5 players who came through NYCFC who have played in Top 5 European leagues, and it seems that Joe Scally will be #6.

Two of those players, Angelino and Reyna, are regular starters on Champions League clubs.

We should be playing up this success - which is notable for a Club so young. It will help attract talent to our academy. It will help us sign young up-and-coming players with dreams of Europe.

Harrison and Herrera are two of the others. Who am I missing?
