Zahmyre "Zay" Harris (born October 14, 1998) is a professional soccer player who plays defender for the United States Virgin Islands national soccer team and previously played Division 1 soccer for Georgia Southern University.[1]

Club career

Born in El Paso, Texas to an American mother and United States Virgin Islands father hailing from Saint Croix,[1] Harris moved to Atlanta at the age of ten, where he played soccer for the Woodland High School in Stockbridge.[1] Having scored 54 goals and notching 27 assists, he earned All-Conference, All-Region, and Offensive Player of the Year honours,[2] earning a spot on Georgia United (who later became professional club Atlanta United).[1] he was then selected for a trial with Atlanta United. However, having fractured his shin in a High School All-Star game, he was unable to attend the trial, and instead committed to playing soccer at the Georgia Southwestern State University.[1] before later transferring to play at Georgia Southern University.[1]

International career

Eligible to represent both the United States and United States Virgin Islands, Harris earned his first call-up to the latter in October 2018.[3]

Style of play

Initially a striker, Harris was converted to a left wingback during his time at the Georgia Southwestern State University.[1] He has cited Marcelo and Leroy Sané as players he likes to watch in order to model his own game on.[1]
