Harrison "Harry" Shipp (born November 7, 1991) is an American soccer player who plays as a forward for Chicago Fire in Major League Soccer.
Early life and college
Shipp was born in Lake Forest, Illinois and attended Lake Forest High School. He played club soccer for the official youth soccer club of the Chicago Fire, The Chicago Fire Juniors North. Following high school, Shipp attended the University of Notre Dame and played four seasons scoring 23 goals and tallying 24 assists in 83 matches.[1] He finished his collegiate career by helping lead Notre Dame to their first ever NCAA College Cup appearance and victory.
Following the 2013 season he was nominated for the prestigious MAC-Hermann Trophy, but eventually lost out to University of Maryland striker, Patrick Mullins.[2] Shipp did, however, win the 2013 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Year
Harry's younger brother, Michael, played soccer with him at Notre Dame. He also has two younger sisters: Abby attends the University of Denver and Sammy attends Vanderbilt University.
Playing career
Club
Throughout Notre Dame's college cup run, there was much discussion whether Shipp would be eligible for the MLS Superdraft, or could be signed to a homegrown contract by the Chicago Fire. After the Fire made a homegrown claim for his signature, some MLS clubs requested for the league to verify whether he was classed as a homegrown talent.[3]
After MLS confirmed his status as a homegrown player, the Fire signed Shipp to a homegrown deal, making him the third in the club's history after Victor Pineda and Kellen Gulley.[4] He made his first appearance for Chicago Fire playing full 90 minutes in an away match against Portland Timbers on March 16, 2014. On May 11, 2014, Shipp scored his first goal and his first professional hat trick for Chicago Fire in a 5–4 away victory at Red Bull New York.[5] On June 7, 2014, Shipp scored two goals at Toyota Park in a losing effort against the Seattle Sounders in which the final score was 3-2 Seattle.
