Harris began skating in 2000.[1] He never competed on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series.[2] He made his senior international debut at the 2009 NRW Trophy, placing 19th. In the 2010–11 season, he stepped onto the British national podium for the first time, taking the bronze medal. He repeated as the bronze medalist in the 2011–12 season, finished fourth in 2012–13, and withdrew in the 2013–14 Olympic season.

In the 2014–15 season, Harris competed in three ISU Challenger Series events, placing 8th at the Lombardia Trophy, fifth at the Ice Challenge, and ninth at the Golden Spin of Zagreb. In late November 2014, he won his first British national title.[3] Harris was assigned to his first ISU Championship, the European Championships held in January 2015 in Stockholm, Sweden. He placed 12th in the short program, earning qualification to the free skate.
