About Mark Harris

Born 1998. Mark Harris is a British association football player.

Oxford United On 11 July 2023, Harris joined EFL League One club Oxford United on a "long term deal". Manager Liam Manning said that "signing a full international with his best years ahead of him is a big thing for us". He was sent off for the first time in his career on 2 September after elbowing Nathan Smith in an off-the-ball incident during a 2–1 defeat to former club Port Vale. Following a strong end to the season, scoring six goals in as many matches as Oxford secured their place in the play-offs, Harris was awarded the EFL League One Player of the Month for April 2024. He scored 15 goals in 43 league games in total and went on to say that he had made the right move in joining the club. He hoped his good form would earn him a recall to the Wales squad. He played at Wembley Stadium in the play-off final victory over Bolton Wanderers.

Harris continued his form into the 2024–25 season, scoring four goals in his first four matches, being named EFL Championship Player of the Month for August. He was later also nominated for the EFL Goal of the Season for his strike against Blackburn Rovers. Speaking in February, Harris said that new manager Gary Rowett had made the team harder to beat. His six goals in the campaign won him the club's Golden Boot award, and he signed a new contract of undisclosed length.

He scored three goals in the 2025 edition of the Piala Presiden to claim the top-scorer award, with Oxford finishing runners-up to Thai club Port in the pre-season tournament. He scored three goals in 40 games across the 2025–26 season,

International career Harris represented Wales at under-17 level, scoring the winning goal against Montenegro in Minsk to secure Wales a place in the Elite Round of qualification for the 2015 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. He went on to be called up to the under-19 team and on 12 November 2016 he scored Wales' second goal of a 3–2 victory over England, only to score an own goal two minutes later; despite the victory Wales failed to qualify for the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. In May 2017, Rob Page named Harris in the Wales under-20 squad for the 2017 Toulon Tournament. After making his debut for the side in the tournament opener against Ivory Coast as a substitute in place of Tyler Roberts, Harris was named in the starting line-up in Wales' remaining two group matches against France and Bahrain as Wales were eliminated in the group stage. He made a total of two appearances for the under-17s, five appearances for the under-19s and three appearances for the under-20s. Harris made his debut for the under-21 side on 1 September 2017, coming on as a substitute in place of Tyler Roberts in a 3–0 victory over Switzerland.

On 30 August 2021, Harris received his first call up to the senior squad as manager Rob Page sought replacements for the injured Aaron Ramsey, Joe Rodon, George Thomas and Neco Williams. He made his debut on 5 September, replacing clubmate Rubin Colwill in the 57th-minute of a 3–2 victory against Belarus in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification game. In November 2022, he was named in the Wales squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Style of play Harris is a versatile forward, able to play as a striker, winger, or behind the striker. Harris has said "I don't mind playing up front in a two, my main strength I would say is running in behind and getting at defenders". Newport County manager Mike Flynn stated that "he's a good finisher, makes intelligent runs, and is very quick". Championship
