SPR forward Wilson Harris is top scoring teenager in American soccer

Swope Park Rangers 19-year-old forward Wilson Harris scored his team-best 12th goal of the USL Championship season on Wednesday to cap off a breakout 2019 campaign highlighted by 10 goals in his last 11 appearances.

The sensational run of form has not only made him the top scoring teenager in the USL Championship, but also the top scoring teenager on any American professional soccer team and one of the top scoring teenagers in the world this year.

Of the 73 American teams in Major League Soccer (21), USL Championship (35), USL League One (9) and the National Independent Soccer Association (8), none have a teenager with as many goals as Harris.
