Harris played for Hibs in the 1985 Scottish League Cup Final, but he was not a successful signing for John Blackley.^[1] Alex Miller allowed Harris to return to Raith in 1986.^[1] He scored 50 goals in 93 league games in his second spell at Raith, before he enjoyed a successful spell with Hamilton. Harris won two Scottish Challenge Cup winners' medals, and he scored the winning goal in one of those finals.^[1] Harris was normally played as a striker, but he was also capable of playing in goal, and he did so for Hamilton.^[1]

The Sanqhuar born striker spent a season at Palmerston Park for Queen of the South making twenty-eight appearances and nine as a substitute scoring a total of ten goals in the process.

On 9 November 2015, Harris was inducted into the Raith Rovers FC Hall of Fame.
