Harris won two Scottish Challenge Cup winners' medals, and he scored the winning goal in one of those finals.^[1] Harris was normally played as a striker, but he was also capable of playing in goal, and he did so for Hamilton.^[1]

The Sanqhuar born striker spent a season at Palmerston Park for Queen of the South making twenty-eight appearances and nine as a substitute scoring a total of ten goals in the process.
