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. 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. 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. 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. In that same season he made three appearances in the Twenty20 Cup, which would be his only appearances in that format. 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.
He would go on to make just one further first-class appearance for Glamorgan, in the 2006 County Championship against Essex. 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. He took just 2 wickets in his three matches, which came at an expensive average of 70.50. He was released by Glamorgan at the end of the 2007 season.
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 and ten MCCA Knockout Trophy appearances from 2006 to 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words county and/or career:
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
