County career
Harrison made his debut in county cricket for Wales Minor Counties in the 2004 Minor Counties Championship against Dorset. He made his first-class debut in that season for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Sussex at Lord's.[2] His first wicket was that of opener Ian Ward in Sussex's first-innings, while in their second-innings he took the wickets of Tony Cottey and Murray Goodwin, to finish with match figures of 3/108. He also scored an unbeaten 34 in the Marylebone Cricket Club's first-innings.[3] The following season he made his first-class debut for Glamorgan against Sussex in the 2005 County Championship, again taking the wicket of Ian Ward in the match.[4] His brother David played alongside him in this match, with them becoming the first brothers to play for the county since Eifion and Alan Jones in 1983.[1] In that same season he made three appearances in the Twenty20 Cup, which would be his only appearances in that format.[5] He took a total of 5 wickets in his three matches, which came at an average of 18.40, with best figures of 2/12.[6]
He would go on to make just one further first-class appearance for Glamorgan, in the 2006 County Championship against Essex.[2] It was also in this season that he made his List A debut against Hampshire in the Pro40. He made two further appearances in that format, both coming in 2007 against Kent and Leicestershire.[7] He took just 2 wickets in his three matches, which came at an expensive average of 70.50.[8] He was forced to retire at the end of the 2007 season due a persistent ankle injury.[9]
His infrequent appearances for Glamorgan allowed him to play Minor counties cricket for Wales Minor Counties, with Harrison making 21 Minor Counties Championship appearances from 2004 to 2010[10] and ten MCCA Knockout Trophy appearances from 2006 to 2010.[11]
International career
Prior to his first-class debut, Harrison represented England Under-19s, making his Youth Test match debut against South Africa Under-19s in 2004. He would make nine further Youth Test appearances, the last of which came against Sri Lanka Under-19s in 2005. He also played Youth Tests against Bangladesh Under-19s in 2004 and India Under-19s in 2005.[12] His Youth One Day International debut came against Nepal Under-19s in the 2004 Under-19 World Cup. He made five further appearances in that tournament, as well four more appearances in 2005 against India Under-19s.[13]
