Club career

Manchester United

Harrop marked his senior debut with a goal for United against Crystal Palace on the last day of the 2016–17 Premier League season, the first of a 2–0 win.[4] His goal made him Manchester United's 100th different scorer in the Premier League.[4] After finishing the season as the under-23 side's top scorer with 10 goals, Harrop rejected a contract offer from the club in June 2017.[5]

Preston North End

On 23 June 2017, Preston North End announced Harrop would join on 3 July, signing a four-year contract for an undisclosed compensation agreement.[6] On 29 September 2018, during a 3–2 loss to West Bromwich Albion, Harrop suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which kept him out for the rest of the season.[7] He made his return in August 2019, coming off the bench to score in a 4–0 win over Bradford City in the first round of the 2019–20 EFL Cup.[8] He also scored in his next two matches, a 3–1 home win over Stoke City in the league[9] and a 2–2 draw at home to Hull City in the second round of the EFL Cup, in which he also provided an assist and scored in the subsequent penalty shoot-out.[10]

In January 2021, Harrop joined League One club Ipswich Town on loan.[11] Harrop made 15 appearances during his loan spell at Ipswich.[12]

On 27 January 2022, Harrop joined League One side Fleetwood Town on loan until the end of the 2021–22 season.[13]

Harrop was placed on the transfer list on 7 May 2022 at the conclusion of the 2021–22 season.[14] On 1 September 2022, Harrop had his contract terminated by mutual consent.[15]

Northampton Town
