Atiba Harris (born January 9, 1985 in Saint Kitts and Nevis) is a soccer forward, who currently plays for the Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer, but played for St. Peters FC as a youngster and captained them to the SKNFA Premier League Finals but failed to win against the Village Superstars FC.
Harris is the first player from St. Kitts to sign with a European club, which he did with Spanish club Cádiz in 2004-05. In 2006, he became the first St. Kitts player to sign with MLS. He has also played for the Saint Kitts and Nevis national team.
During the 2006 preseason, Harris was involved in an incident with D.C. United head coach Peter Nowak, who made "some inappropriate remarks" about Harris[1]. Nowak was later fined by MLS [2].
