Biography

Hard-running Souths centre, a NSW rep in 1926, played in the club's win in the 1927 final. Harris went to England to play for Huddersfield the following year but left earlier than expected after a contractual dispute involving Souths’ teammate Alby Carr. He later returned to Souths and again represented his state in 1932. Harris was later killed in a car accident in 1965.

After 2 seasons in the country at Cootamundra & Boorowa returned to South Sydney in 1931 but transferred to play at Grenfell after 4 rounds then returned to Souths in 1932.
