JORDAN HARVEY

ASSISTANT TECHNICAL DIRECTOR

An LAFC original who appeared in more than 80 games for the club in all competitions between 2018-21, Jordan Harvey joined the club’s front office as the Assistant Technical Director following his retirement after the 2021 season.

Harvey signed with LAFC as a free agent in December 2017 and went on to spend four seasons with the club, becoming a fan favorite while playing primarily as a left back. In 74 regular season games, Harvey had one goal, scoring in a 4-2 win over the New York Red Bulls in August 2019, and seven assists, including a career-high five in 2019 when LAFC won the Supporters’ Shield for the first time in club history.

A Southern California native, Harvey played 16 seasons in MLS after originally being drafted by the Colorado Rapids in 2006. After spending four seasons with the Rapids, Harvey joined the Philadelphia Union during their inaugural 2009 campaign. He would spend two and a half years with the Union before being traded to the Vancouver Whitecaps during their inaugural season in 2011. Harvey played for the Whitecaps for more than six seasons, helping the club win its first Canadian Championship in 2015.

Harvey, who represented the United States with the Under-17 and Under-20 National Teams, played his college soccer at UCLA, helping the Bruins win a National Championship as a freshman in 2002.
