Harrison began his career at Bristol Rovers, making his senior debut at 17 in April 2011. He scored twenty goals in forty matches as Rovers secured promotion into the English Football League through the Conference Premier play-offs in the 2014–15 season, including a goal in the play-off final. He was briefly loaned out to Hartlepool United in the 2015–16 campaign, though he would score eight goals for Rovers as they secured promotion out of League Two. He then scored twenty goals at League One level throughout the next two seasons, securing a £750,000 transfer move to Ipswich Town in July 2018. However, he scored just one goal for the Championship club and returned to League One on a £450,000 transfer to Portsmouth in June 2019. He scored 20 goals in 84 games for the club before joining Fleetwood Town for an undisclosed fee in January 2022. He moved on to Port Vale for another undisclosed fee eight months later. He finished as Vale's top-scorer in the 2022-23 season and was sold on to Milton Keynes Dons in September 2023.
