The Colorado Rapids have sold 18-year-old center back Lucas Herrington to Premier League side Hull City, they announced Wednesday afternoon. Herrington, who represented Australia at the 2026 World Cup, departs the Rapids for a club record fee. His move is the highest fee for any defender in MLS history.
Hull City have reached an agreement to sign Australian international Lucas Herrington from the Colorado Rapids, GOAL can confirm. The 18-year-old World Cup veteran's move will be worth up to $23 million, sources tell GOAL, as Herrington makes the leap to the Premier League after less than one season in Colorado.
Lucas Herrington, 18, has been one of Major League Soccer’s breakout stars this year, emerging as a defensive standout for the Colorado Rapids. His rise has reportedly attracted interest from abroad, including from La Liga champions Barcelona. The center back’s strong form has also earned him a place on Australia’s World Cup roster.
Lionel Messi and Co. remain favorites, but strong starts from Nashville, San Jose and Vancouver have the league nicely poised heading into a long break.
James Rodriguez's brief, underwhelming spell with Minnesota United appears to be nearing an abrupt end. Apple TV's Michele Giannone and The Athletic reported that the Colombian star will leave next week to join his national team for the World Cup and is not expected to return after the tournament. The midfielder has made just four league appearances for the club.
