Professional[edit]

Following the conclusion of the 2009 PDL season, Harris travelled to England, and was offered a trial with English League Two side Northampton Town. After scoring two goals in friendlies against Long Buckby and Stamford, Harris joined Northampton on August 3, 2009, on a six month contract.[2] Harris made his professional debut on November 21, against Crewe Alexandra, coming on as a substitute in the 2–2 draw.[3] Harris was retained at the end of January until the end of the season, and repaid Ian Sampson's faith in him with a late winner against Cheltenham Town on February 27.[4] Harris signed a new contract at the end of the season and was converted by Sampson from a midfielder into a defender for the 2010–11 season.

On October 29, 2010 he joined Stafford Rangers on loan until January 2011. After his loan at Stafford expired, he moved to Nuneaton Town on a one-month loan.,[5] before being released by Northampton at the end of the season.

Returning to the United States, Harris joined his old club Michigan Bucks in the USL Premier Development League for the 2011 season. He played his first game back with the Bucks on June 10, a 2–1 win over Forest City London.[6]

In 2014, Harris joined Detroit City FC, making 17 appearances in 2014/15 as a defender.[7] After the 2015 season, a supporter podcast for the club named him Detroit City FC's "Breakout Player of the Year."[8]

He went onto become a regular for Detroit for the next five seasons, before he retired in 2019 at the age of 33, after playing over 200 professional games in his career.
