Take a scroll through the names in the EFL Championship Golden Boot standings over the last two seasons, and you’ll find a common occurrence: North Americans right near the top of the list.
Last season, USMNT World Cup striker Haji Wright scored 17 goals for Championship side Coventry City, finishing second in the Golden Boot race. In the early stages of the new 2026–27 season, Canada’s Cyle Larin sits atop the goalscoring charts with seven goals in seven games.
