Nathan Lee William Harriel (/ˈhæriəl/ HARR-ee-əl; born April 23, 2001)[4] is an American professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Major League Soccer club Philadelphia Union and the United States national team.
Club career
[edit | edit source]Harriel appeared as an amateur player for USL Championship side Bethlehem Steel during their 2019 season, as well as being part of the Philadelphia Union academy.[5][6]
In 2019, Harriel verbally committed to play college soccer at Clemson University.[7] However, on July 17, 2020, Harriel signed with Philadelphia Union as a homegrown player, beginning from the 2021 season.[8] They acquired his homegrown rights from Orlando City SC in exchange for a first round 2021 MLS SuperDraft pick.[9]
Harriel was first named to senior matchday squads during the 2021 season, and made his senior debut on September 3, playing at right back.[10] Both players who had played in the position during the season, Olivier Mbaizo and Alvas Powell, were away on international duty.[11]
International career
[edit | edit source]In January 2024 he was selected for the senior United States squad for a match against Slovenia.[12]
