NEW YORK — English winger Jack Harrison has been transferred from Major League Soccer’s New York City FC to Manchester City, which is owned by the same parent company.

NYC said Tuesday that Harrison, who made his debut for England’s Under-21 team last year, has been lent to Middlesbrough of the second-tier League Championship through the end of this season.

Harrison, who turned 21 in November, had 14 goals in 59 matches during two seasons with NYC, which is part of City Football Group.
