Many of the English Leagues have concluded their 2023-24 campaigns, ending the competitive schedules for several American players.
Haji Wright enjoyed a positive debut in England this season for Coventry City, helping Mark Robins’ squad finish in the top half of the EFL Championship and reach the FA Cup Semifinals. The veteran striker led the Sky Blues in goals and will now aim to carry his club production over to the international stage this summer.
Both Ethan Horvath and Reggie Cannon returned to consistent club roles for Cardiff City and QPR respectively. Horvath endured a tough end of the season as the Bluebirds missed out on the promotion playoffs while Cannon and QPR escaped relegation.
Duane Holmes and Lynden Gooch both played leading roles for their clubs while Donovan Pines received his first taste of life in England.
Here is a closer look at the Americans, whose club seasons have ended in England:
Haji Wright
Coventry City can thank Haji Wright for helping them finish where they did this season.
Wright made an instant impact in his first season in England, leading the team with 19 goals across all competitions. The U.S. men’s national team forward also added eight assists in 50 combined appearances.
While many players would’ve struggled with the transition to a new league and country, the 26-year-old Wright enjoyed plenty of success at club level over the past eight months.
Ethan Horvath
Ethan Horvath was able to get back to playing regularly with Cardiff City this season and now will have higher goals for 2024-25.
Horvath made 16 starts for the Bluebirds since his move from Nottingham Forest, registering four clean sheets. The USMNT goalkeeper had to wait for his chance, but after Horvath jumped into the squad, he did not lose his spot.
Horvath will aim to get back into the USMNT plans this summer and a starting role at club level is a good start at achieving those goals….
