About Paul Harrison (footballer, born 1984)

Paul Anthony Harrison (born 18 December 1984) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He most notably played for The New Saints, having spent 15 years with the club. He began his career at Liverpool, but did not play a game, and also had a loan to Leeds United and a transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers without playing for either Championship club. After playing five League Two games for Chester City and Hereford United in 2006, he had a season with Southport in the Conference. Harrison joined The New Saints in 2007 and remained there for over a decade, making over 450 Cymru Premier appearances and winning a number of honours including ten winner's medals for the Welsh Premier League/ Cymru Premier. He never made a first-team appearance, but when second-choice goalkeeper Chris Kirkland was injured, Harrison sat on the substitutes' bench as cover for Jerzy Dudek.
