About Jay Harris

Born 1987. Jay Harris is a British association football player.

Chester City On 25 June 2008, he joined Chester City on a two-year contract along with Accrington teammate David Mannix. He featured in more than 30 of Chester's games in 2008–09 as the club suffered relegation from the Football League. In February 2010 Chester were expelled from the Conference for breaching five league rules and so the club was liquidated leaving Harris without a club.

On 7 April 2009, Harris was one of five players charged with breaching Football Association rules on betting relating to the Accrington against Bury match on the final day of the 2007–08 season. He was later banned for twelve months and fined Β£5,500.

Wrexham On 21 July 2010, he appeared as a triallist for Wrexham during a 0–0 draw against a young Liverpool side in a pre-season friendly just 24 hours after his ban expired, later signing a one-year contract with the club. On his arrival, Wrexham manager Dean Saunders commented "We know what happened with him before, he's been out of football for a year, so I'm going to give him a chance". He made his debut on the opening day of the 2010–11 season in a 1–0 win over Cambridge United. His good form at the start of 2011 led to him being named the Blue Square Bet Premier player of the month for January. On 19 August Harris scored his first goal of the 2011–12 season against Lincoln City. Wrexham won the game 2–1 and went top of the Conference Premier. In January 2012 Harris signed a new deal to stay with Wrexham until the end of the 2012–13 season. Harris and Wrexham failed to gain promotion from the Conference but Harris remained at Wrexham ahead of the new season. Harris scored some major goals in the 2012/2013 season and on 25 February 2013 Harris signed an extension on his contract to run until the summer of 2015. Harris picked up his first piece of silverware in his career when he won the FA Trophy with Wrexham in March 2013.

Tranmere Rovers Harris signed for Tranmere Rovers on 22 May 2015 on a free transfer after his contract with Wrexham expired. On 27 June 2019, Harris left the club after helping achieve back to back promotions with The Whites and being a very popular figure with fans.

Macclesfield Town On 1 August 2019, Harris joined League Two side Macclesfield Town on a one-year deal.

Return to Wrexham On 31 January 2020, Harris returned to Wrexham on an 18-month contract.

On 2 June 2021, it was announced Harris would not be offered a contract extension by Wrexham.

Warrington Town On 29 August 2021, Harris signed for Warrington Town.
