The Potteries born Winger, moved around a lot in his childhood and early teens, moving to Bolton at an early age he chose to join the Liverpool Academy in 2002, when barely six, before moving to the Manchester United Academy one year later and staying there until 2010, when his family moved to Sheffield, Massachusetts, where he furthered his schooling at the Berkshire School. There he played for the School and in 2015 he was awarded the Gatorade National Boys soccer player of the year, while playing for them. He also played club football for the NYCFC Youth Affiliate, Manhattan Soccer Club, from 2013-2015. He then went to College at Wake Forest University, playing for Demon Deacond for a year and was a NSCAA First Team All-American, ACC Offensive Player of the Year, and ACC Freshman of the Year. With his stock rising, Harrison was the youngest player available in the 2016 MLS Super Draft where he was selected as the number one pick by Chicago Fire before a deal was agreed to transfer him to New York City FC on 15th January 2016. Harrison was sidelined for the first ten games of the season with a pelvic injury, but after firstly, after sitting unused on the bench in a 1-1 away draw at Toronto on 19th September 2016, he continued his impressive displays after overcoming that injury and made his debut as a fifty-seventh minute substitute for Tommy McNamara in a 0-7 home thrashing by New York Red Bulls. He missed the next game, in a 2-2 home draw with Orlando City SC, before making his starting debut in a 2-3 home defeat by Real Salt Lake City, when he opened his goal account when he opened the scoring in the fifty-sixth minute before giving way to Kwadwo Poku in the seventy-forth minute. He soon increased that to two as he opened the scoring in the eighth minute of a 2-0 home win over New York Red Bulls on 3rd July 2016. His third came a fortnight lateras he put New York City FC 2-0 in front, two minutes into injury time at half-time in a 3-1 away win at Montreal Impact in which he was replaced two minutes before full-time by Patrick Mullins. His fourth and final goal came in the final game of the season, as he made it 2-1 as Columbus Crew were beaten 4-1 at home on 23rd October 2016 as Harrison was replaced by Jason Hernandez eight minutes before time. He started seventeen, came on as a substitute four times and sat unused on the bench once in the MLS. He played a full game in both of the MLS Pay-offs which saw Toronto win both games. In the US Open Cup he replaced replaced Mehdi Ballouchy in the final minute as New York Cosmos won 0-1 at the Yankee Stadium. He was nominated for the MLS Rookie of the Year in his second season at the club, having started thirty-three and coming off the bench once in the MLS League, in which he scored ten goals, but was sent off once. He also started two MLS Play-off games and one US Open Cup ties, without scoring. His goals came on 1st April 2017 when he got the first equaliser in the tenth minute of a 2-1 home win over San Jose Earthquakes. The second came two weeks later in a 2-0 away win at Philadelphia Union, when he opened the scoring in the fifty-second minute before being replaced by Khiry Shelton nine minutes before time. Two games later on 30th April 2017 he bagged a brace to take him to four as he opened the scoring in the eighth minute and then got the winner in the seventy-sixth minute of a 3-2 away win at Columbus Crew SC. His fifth came on 28th May 2017 in a 1-3 away defeat at Atlanta United FC when he scored the consolation goal in the seventy- first minute. He quickly registered number six in the next game on 1st June 2017, when he scored the opening goal in the sixteenth minute of a 2-2 home draw with New England Revolution before being replaced by Frederic Brillant in the sixty-ninth minute. Numbers seven and eight came in consecutive games soon after as he opened the scoring in the thirty-third minute of a 2-0 away win at New York Red Bulls on 24th July 2017, and five days later, he gave New York City FC a 2-1 home lead in the fifty-second minute in a 3-1 home win over Minnesota United FC. 7th September was the date he scored his ninth goal of the season and it was the only goal of the game and he had to wait until five minutes from the end to score it, as Sporting Kansas City were beaten at home. His tenth goal came on 28th September 2017 in a 1-0 away win at Montreal Impact, the vital goal arriving in the twenty-ninth minute, long before he was replaced by Yangel Herrera in the seventieth minute. He was called up to the England Under-Twenty-One team in early October 2017, after Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Sheyi Ojo, had to withdraw due to injury. He made his debut for them on 6th October 2017 in the UEFA European Under-Twenty-One Qualifiers at the Riverside Stadium, Middlesbrough but only came on for one minute as a very late replacement for Tammy Abraham almost on time, in a 3-1 win over Scotland. He made his starting debut just four days later in a 1-0 away win in Andorra at the Estadi Comunal d'Andorra la Vella, Andorra and played seventy minutes before he was replaced by Demarai Gray. He has not been called up since. He then blotted his copybook in the penultimate game of the MLS season when he was sent off after only twenty-six minutes for a serious foul which did not help his team as they went down 1-2 at New England Revolution, on 15th October 2017. He joined Manchester City on 30th January 2018 on a three year contract for a fee thought to be £4 million. He had started fifty MLS games and come off the bench five times in scoring fourteen goals and had also started two cup games and four play-off games without scoring, while at New York City FC. He was one for the future and was immediately loan out to Middlesbrough for the rest of the 2017-18 season. He was included in the Middlesbrough squad for the first game on 3rd February 2018, but had to be content to sit on the bench in the 0-1 away defeat at Norwich City and a week later in a 2-1 home win over Reading. He saw his first action a week later, when he replaced Jonathan Howson with seven minutes left on the clock in a 0-1 defeat at Cardiff City and in the 3-3 away draw at Sunderland on 24th February 2018 he came on for Britt Assombalonga in the sixty-fourth minute. He then sat for five consecutive games on the bench without getting the call to action. On 2nd April 2018 he finally received another call, this time in the seventy-sixth minute of a 1-1 draw at Burton Albion, when he replaced Stewart Downing. The very next day, he was called into the Boro Under-Twenty-Threes for the 1-0 away win over Newcastle United in Premier League 2 and he played fifty-seven minutes, before being replaced by Mikael Soisalo in the fifty-seventh minute. He was again called up to the Under-Twenty-Threes on 15th April 2018, after sitting unused for three games on the bench for the Championship side. He played fifty-eight minutes this time before giving way to Mikael Soisalo in a 2-1 home win over West Bromwich Albion. There were two more games as an unused substitute for the Championship side before he was sent on to replace Adam Clayton for two minutes in the final game of the Championship season in a 2-2 away draw at Ipswich town as he laid on a goal for Patrick Bamford six minutes into injury time at the end of the game. This was enough to see Middlesbrough finish fifth on the ladder and qualify for the play-offs for the third promotion spot. It saw them take on fourth-placed Aston Villa in the two legged semi-finals. Harrison sat unused in both games as Middlesbrough lost the home leg on 12th May 2018 by the only goal of the game at the Riverside and then were held goalless at Villa Park in the away leg three days later. So the season ended on a low note as he wondered what lay in store for him in the next season of 2018-19 as he returned to Manchester City after not starting in the Championship and being restricted to just two starts in the Under-Twenty-Threes and both less than an hour! While the Championship brought only four substitute of minimal endurance and twelve spells unused on the bench and also similarly on two occasions in the play-offs. He took part in Manchester City's tour of USA in the pre-season of 2018 and there he made his first appearances for them in the International Champions Cup against Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich. He started in the first game in the Right Wing position at the Soldier Field, Chicago, Illinois on 21st July 2018, but was replaced by Patrick Roberts after seventy-five minutes as City went down 0-1. Five days later he again started on the Left Wing at the Metlife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey in the much-awaited encounter with Liverpool. City opened the scoring in the fifty-sixth minute with a goal from Leroy Sane, but Mo Salah equalised seven minutes later. Just went it seemed that a draw would be a fair result, Liverpool received a penalty four minutes into injury time and Sadio Mane made no mistake to give victory to Liverpool by 1-2 as Harrison completed the full ninety minutes. He was, however, on the bench for the start of his third and final game in the series as Douglas Luiz was preferred on the Right Wing on 28th July 2018 as City faced Bayern Munchen. Things did not go well for City in the opening stages at the Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, Florida as Meritan Shabani netted after fifteen minutes and Arjen Robben scored nine minutes later, both goals being against the run of play and led 0-2 at Half-Time. City really came back with a bang in the early part of the second half as Bernardo Silva scored in the first minute of the second half and was quickly followed by Lukas Nmecha just five minutes later to tie the scores up. Bernardo Silva got the winner in the seventieth minute just four minutes after Harrison had been called on to replace Brahim Diaz. Twenty-four hours after defeating Bayern 3-2 in Miami, Jack Harrison flew back to England and signed for Championship side, Leeds United, on a season-long loan on 30th July 2018. He made his debut for his new team in the first game of the 2018-19 season as they won their first game over likely promotion candidates, and his hometwn club, Stoke City, by 3-1 on 5th August 2018. He only participated for one minute as he replaced Ezgjan Alioski in the penultimate minute. He was on the bench and remained unused as Derby County were defeated 4-1 at Pride Park six days later. He made his starting debut for Leeds in the 2-1 League Cup home win over Bolton Wanderers on 14th August 2018 and played the entire ninety minutes on the right wing. He was back to being unused on the bench on 18th August at Elland Road as Rotherham United were beaten 2-0. Three days later he was again a substitute, replacing Ezgjan Alioski after the half-time break in the 2-2 draw at the Liberty Stadium with Swansea City. Then, on 25th August 2018 he came on for the final eleven minutes as a replacement for the injured Pablo Hernandez at Carrow Road in a 3-0 win over Norwich City. He maintained that place as the injured Hernandez was not available for several games as he recovered. He did, therefore, make his starting debut in the League on 31st August 2018 in the 0-0 home draw with Middlesbrough, which saw him play the full ninety minutes. He maintained his position for four more consecutive full games in the Spaniard's absence, and it was in the first of these that he scored his first Leeds goal on 15th September 2018 in a visit to Millwall at the Den where he earned Leeds a point with a late equaliser in a 1-1 with a goal in the eighty-ninth minute. Three days later he played the full game as Preston North End were easily beaten 3-0 at Elland Road, but he also took a full part in a surprise 1-2 home defeat by the unfancied Birmingham City, coached by Garry Monk, on 22nd September 2018 and six days later he had a full game in a 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. He did also start in the 1-0 away win at Hull City on 2nd October 2018 but was replaced by Stuart Dallas in the seventy-fourth minute. Four days later he was again on the field for the full ninety minutes in the 1-1 home draw with Brentford. However, he was omitted from the squad at Ewood Park as United went down 1-2 to Blackburn Rovers, a fortnight later. He was recalled for the 2-0 home win over Ipswich Town, four days later, but came off for Tom Pearce in the fifty-eighth minute .
