Wycombe Wanderers & Carlisle United

Started his playing career at Wycombe Wanderers when he was the first player to progress from the youth team in the summer of 1996. His first game was against Barnet in the second round of the 1996-97 F.A. Cup where he came on as a substitute in the 60th minute.[1] His first goal did not arrive until 26 August 1997 with a 25 yard chip past the Fulham goalkeeper, a result that ended in a 4-4 draw.[2] Between the 2000 and 2001 season, Harkin was called up to the Northern Ireland U21 team nine times, making his debut and scoring a goal as a substitute in the 2-1 win over Malta. Harkin was also on the score sheet in the 5-2 against Iceland.[3] Local media stated that Aston Villa offered Wycombe £800,000 for Harkin, but the deal ended when he picked up an injury. At the end of the 2000-01 season, at the age of 21, the then manager, Lawrie Sanchez, decided not to renew his contract with the club stating that there was no future for him at Wycombe and maybe a fresh start at another club could restart his football career.[4] Harkin signed with Carlisle on 20 August 2001 [5] on a month deal but was not renewed.[6]

Non League Football

Harkin moved south and joined the Hampshire team of Aldershot, who were in the Isthmian League at the time. He only made 2 appearances before going north to Nuneaton Borough on 2 January 2002,[7] before returning south to the Sussex team of Crawley Town in June 2002.[8]

In 2005 he had a short stint at Forest Green Rovers before going to Lewes.

Mo joined his second Hampshire team, Havant & Waterlooville, in June 2006 [9] who were playing in the Blue Square South. He made history for Havant by scoring the only goal in the 2007-08 1st round of the FA Cup against York City [10] and sending them into the second round for the first time. He featured in the FA Cup fourth round tie against Liverpool at Anfield. Although Havant lost 5-2 to the Premier League outfit, he was the man on the match.[11]

He joined the newly promoted Blue Square Premier side Eastbourne Borough in July 2008.[12] on a free transfer. He made 6 starts for Eastbourne, scoring 1 goal. On Boxing Day, he suffered with a mystery vision problem whilst warming up against Lewes.[13] Harkin was released by Eastbourne at the end of January 2009 transferring to Southern League Premier Division team Farnborough.[14] | In August 2009 Harkin moved to Kingstonian With his first match being a 3-0 win over Hendon in an Isthmian Premier League match.
