Harrison was recommended to the club by the England captain Dylan Hartley in 2011.[3]
In a season considered to be his "breakthrough year", Harrison earned both a call up to the England squad and a regular place in Saints' first team in the 2015-16 campaign..
Harrison featured heavily in Saints' fight to secure a European Rugby Champions Cup place for the 2017-18 season as they defeated both Connacht Rugby and Stade Francais to grab the last place.[4]
