Jack Harrison has confirmed his departure from Everton, penning an emotional farewell to the club’s devoted fans following the conclusion of his loan spell from Leeds United. The 27-year-old winger, who spent the 2024/25 campaign at Goodison Park, is set to return to his parent club after a season of mixed fortunes on Merseyside.
Leeds United, having secured promotion back to the Premier League, will welcome Harrison back into their fold this summer. However, the winger took time to express his gratitude and heartfelt emotions toward Everton supporters, who stood by him despite his struggle to consistently break into the starting XI under manager David Moyes.
“You will always remain in my heart,” Harrison wrote in a touching farewell message posted on social media. “It’s been a season filled with ups and downs for me personally, but one thing that never changed was the incredible love and support I received from the Evertonians.”
Harrison, who was once a highly rated prospect and known for his pace and creativity, found game time hard to come by at Everton. Manager David Moyes often opted for a more physically dominant lineup, which left Harrison fighting for opportunities in a system that didn’t fully suit his natural style of play.
Despite these challenges, the winger remained a professional figure throughout the season and earned admiration from fans for his work ethic and attitude, even when he wasn’t featuring regularly.
“I know I didn’t deliver the performances I wanted to,” Harrison admitted. “I hold myself to high standards and I feel I could’ve done more. But your constant encouragement meant the world to me. I genuinely hope I get the chance one day to wear the Everton shirt again and repay that faith with the football you deserve.”
Everton fans quickly flooded social media with messages of appreciation and understanding, praising Harrison’s honesty and sincerity. Some even expressed hope that the club could find a way to bring him back in the future—whether on another loan or a permanent basis.
As Harrison now returns to Leeds United, where competition for places is expected to be fierce following their promotion, his future remains uncertain. However, what is clear is that he leaves Everton with a strong bond to the fanbase and a genuine desire to return someday and complete unfinished business.
“To the staff, my teammates, and most importantly the fans—thank you. You’ve made me feel part of something special,” he concluded.
Jack Harrison’s journey with Everton may have been brief and turbulent, but his class and humility have left a lasting impression.
