LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Louisville City FC announced on Friday it had agreed to terms for Wilson Harris to move to Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Petah Tikva FC during the current UEFA transfer window.

The 25-year-old forward departs Louisville after scoring 43 league goals in 91 regular season appearances over the past three seasons, placing him second on the club’s all-time scoring list.

“We are grateful for the work Wilson put in throughout his time here at Louisville City," said LouCity Head Coach Danny Cruz. "We wanted Wilson to extend his time with us, but he felt that the opportunity to play in Israel was one he couldn’t pass up. Throughout the process, we had a valuation set for this move, and it was met. We wish Wilson the very best and look forward to seeing his career continue taking off.

"Likewise, I'm excited about where our roster is heading into the 2025 season. We will continue to evaluate, as we always do, what's needed to put the team in the best possible position to win a USL Championship title. I'm confident in the group we have assembled and am looking forward to getting started."

Harris’s 19 goals in the 2024 USL Championship campaign ranked second in the league, helping LouCity post the highest points total in club history and claim the Players’ Shield. He was named to the USL Championship All-League First Team alongside teammates Taylor Davila and Arturo Ordoñez.

A California native who originally committed to play collegiately at the University of Louisville, Harris joined City from Sporting Kansas City, where he was named the USL Championship Young Player of the Year in 2020.

Harris has recorded 68 regular season goals in the USL Championship overall in his career, good for 10th in the league’s history, while his strike rate of a goal every 150.1 minutes ranks fifth all-time among players with at least 40 goals in the league’s regular season.
