Born and raised in Hartlepool, Harrison learned his rugby at Galleys Field School.[1]
Harrison, a pacy winger, captained his hometown club Hartlepool Rovers. He became a Durham regular from his debut at age 18 and made 49 appearances for the county.[2] In 1931, Harrison was capped twice for England during the Five Nations, debuting in place of Carl Aarvold on the left wing against Ireland at Twickenham.[3] He retained his place for their next match against Scotland at Murrayfield, before missing the final fixture in Paris with a dislocated shoulder.[4]
