Harris was selected with pick 20 in the 1986 VFL Draft, one of five players that North Melbourne secured in the draft and the only one to play a league game.[1] He made two appearances, the first in North Melbourne's round 16 loss to Footscray in the 1988 season at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the second came the following weekend, in a draw against Collingwood at Victoria Park.[2]
Unfortunately, Harris was struck down by injury early in his football career, suffering a torn ACL in the first few months of the season. Attempts to recover from the injury were unsuccessful, and shorty afterwards, Harris was de-listed from the squad.
He is the younger brother of Darren Harris, who played 51 games for North Melbourne.[3]
