Career

Harris Started his career as a youth spending time at Millwall and West Ham before signing his YTS with Charlton Athletic. Choosing to forgo his second year as a YTS he instead signed his first professional contract with Gillingham in 2000. Harris made 10 appearances that season impressing enough to get an offer from Lincoln City, which he accepted. Harris found himself in the starting line-up putting in solid performances until a fractured foot put him out of action for several months. Losing his starting place and never regaining his form of late. Although spending two years and making 49 appearances for the Imps he was released in 2003. Upon being released Harris decided to join Tooting and Mitcham United dropping out of the football league. He had a successful spell with the Terrors and enjoyed his new role as a striker. After two successful years Harris was again on the move to the second highest league in Norway with Tromsdalen. After only playing in the second half of their season Harris and Tromsdalen agreed to part ways for undisclosed reasons. Harris returned to England signing for Crawley Town of the Conference National. After only a year he was again on his travels, but this time signing for Dunaújváros in Hungary. This would seem consistant with his career as he never spent more than 2 years at one team. Again it was not long before his time at Dunaújváros was up with the club ceasing operation midway through the 2008-2009 season. Choosing to stay in Hungary he joined Vasas. His time was bitter sweet, enjoying his football, but internal problems forced him to leave. It was not until 10 months later when Harris signed for lowly Enköpings of the Swedish second division that he resurfaced. It is unclear what Harris was doing between this time, although it is known he spent time in Italy with the Genova International soccer school training with the likes of Iván de la Peña. Signing a non-professional contract enabled him to regain his fitness and have control over any oppertunities. It did not take long for interest to arise from several clubs in Sweden and Norway with Harris choosing to sign with Alta only having spent 3 months with Enköpings. Harris signed a short term contract till the end of the season with Alta Choosing not to return for the 2011 season he instead went looking for his next challenge, which would take him half way across the world to Asia signing with Thai Port of the Thai Premier League in early 2011.
