Player Profile:

Central defender who was a youth player at West Ham United and Watford U23s, the latter loaning him to Cray Wanderers and Billericay Town.

Watford released Harry and he joined Tonbridge Angels in National League South in July 2021. He made 32 appearances for the Angels before deciding he wanted more first-team football.

Harry signed for Margate in summer 2022. He played in the Thanet Cup game on 30.7.22 at Hartsdown against Ramsgate and quickly became an integral part of the defence.

He scored twice - including a last-minute winner - in a 2-1 win at Wingate & Finchley on 12.11.22.

Harry scored the decisive penalty in the shoot-out win over Chatham Town in the Kent Senior Cup Final at Gillingham on 3.5.23.

He finished the season with 45 appearances, plus one as sub, and scored four goals.

Harry stayed at Margate for 2023-24. Manager Reece Prestedge told the club website: "Harry is a real fans' favourite, but on top of that he is a fantastic defender that showed all of his qualities last season for us. He leads from the back and off the pitch he leads but is also a character in the dressing room that you need because of the personality he has."

He made a total of 47 appearances during the season and scored once - in a 1-1 draw at home to Haringey on 7.11.23. He also scored an own goal in a 2-1 defeat at home to Hastings United on 24.10.23. He was voted supporters' and manager's player of the season for 2023-24.

Now club captain, Harry remained at Margate for 2024-25 and made 49 appearances, passing 100 for the club. He scored four goals during the campaign, including a header in a 2-2 draw at home to Ramsgate on 26.12.24.

In May 2025, it was announced that Harry would stay at Margate for the coming season.
