Impact acquire Harry Shipp from Chicago

The attacking midfielder moves to Canada after two seasons with his hometown club.

The Montreal Impact acquired midfielder Harry Shipp from the Chicago Fire on Saturday in exchange for general and targeted allocation money.

Shipp, 24, has emerged as one of the league's top young attacking players since signing as a homegrown player prior to the 2014 campaign.

“We are very pleased to have been able to acquire Harry and we are looking forward to him joining our group,” said Impact technical director Adam Braz in a club release. “He is a player who has already shown he can produce in this league and we feel that he will fit well into our team and into our style of play.
