Shipp ready to revitalize MLS career with Sounders

Imagine, for a moment, if the Seattle Sounders suddenly saw no future with emerging homegrown star Jordan Morris.

And think of what Morris’ reaction would be if the club traded him out of the country after this season.

That, essentially, is what happened to Harry Shipp in 2016.

Shipp is a Chicago guy. On those great MLS Cup-contending Fire clubs of the late 1990s he watched at Soldier Field growing up, Shipp idolized midfielder Piotr Nowak. He also played collegiately down the road at Notre Dame where he led the Fighting Irish to an NCAA Division I crown.
