Harrower moved from his native Dunfermline to Third Lanark in July 1947. An ever-present in their 1949-50 campaign, he made 165 league appearances for the club. In December 1954 he joined Accrington Stanley, half way through their Third Division North second place campaign. Ever present in Stanley's third place finish in 1955-56, he excelled in both the left-back role, and the centre-back position. In 1957–58 his club once again finished in second place in the league. In April 1960 he was appointed player-manager in April 1960, resigning his post in December 1961.
After leaving the game he became a publican, then a heating engineer.
