New Mexico United News Release


Albuquerque, NM - New Mexico United is excited to announce the acquisition of winger Dayonn Harris from the Tampa Bay Rowdies ahead of the 2024 USL Championship season. The 26-year old made his pro debut in 2019 and has been a constant figure in lineups ever since. Harris has spent the last three seasons with Tampa Bay, featuring in a robust 81 matches over three years.

"Dayonn's speed, versatility, and experience in the USL Championship will be hugely important in allowing us to play the way we want to play," said United Sporting Director Itamar Keinan. "He is an exciting, dynamic player who already plays like a New Mexican. He can operate as a winger, wingback, or fullback. We can't wait to welcome him to the Land of Enchantment."

Harris has logged more than 4,300 minutes across the USL Championship, Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, and a short stint in the Canadian Championship. In 2023, his 46 crosses completed were best on the Tampa Bay Rowdies roster. Since joining Tampa Bay in 2021, he has been a constant threat, generating 54 key passes over that time.

Born and raised in Ontario, Canada, Harris was selected with the 20th overall pick of the 2020 MLS SuperDraft by Real Salt Lake. He spent that first season with Real Monarchs SLC, before moving southeast to Tampa.
