It goes to show that with the right application you can come through the academy and be an established first team player. A lot of our young talent gets swallowed up by bigger clubs unfortunately because we need the money more than we need young players with future potential, so it's nice when a young player gets into the team and is able to establish themselves. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes the next McDermott and notches up record appearances for the club as he doesn't seem to want to be anywhere else.

Seen him kick on this season and he's improved in some weaker parts of his game like passing and shooting through constant effort. His levels of fitness are scary at times as he can keep running and running all game and never really looks worn out by the end of it.

Our Harry is a great role model for kids.  Not just in football as he's the epitome of hard work  and dedication. Well done lad.

I know we don’t do half player of the season but if we did I think he’d be mine. I think he’s kicked on and really coming to fruition and beginning to fulfil his potential. I’m not sure I’ve seen a fitter player playing for the club.


I hope you mean player of the half season!! Not half player of the season!!! 🤣🤣🤣 #UTM

The longer he plays for us and maintains his standards, the harder it will be to keep him. He’s a rare breed - exceptionally fit, mobile, versatile, consistent, goal scoring midfielder. Top player.

He chose us over league 1 Forest Green Rovers. What else can say, part from Grimsby through and through.

Fantastic to see a player from the academy have so much success with us. Always rated him, when you think how many different managers have considered him a first team regular it shows just how hard working he is, as well as having genuine ability. I personally think he could make the step up to league one as well, which Forest Green must also have thought.  However hope he stays with us for his entire career, probably the only player who will have a realistic chance of beating McDermotts record over the next 10 years or so!

How much is he worth in today's market I wonder, box to box midfielder, gets among the goals and assists, can play any position and is as fit as a butchers dog, very rarely injured and has an enormous appetite for the game

I can see him leaving at some point, he has the potential to go on and play in the Championship. He's getting better each season and is probably our most valuable/sellable asset. Unless we establish ourselves in the Championship, then he would have no reason to leave.

The amazing thing about John McDermot (  if my memory serves me correctly) was that when he was about 19(?) the then town manager wanted to release him for some reason. I seem to think it was because he had joined our Youth set up quite late in age and felt he hadn't had a proper basis. Like I said, I could be wrong but I'm sure someone could verify or discount this.
