Born in Edinburgh, Harris attended Edinburgh Academy and played for the Civil Service Strollers under-12 side, alongside future Hibs teammate Danny Handling. He made his professional debut on 6 October 2012, in a 3–0 win against Dundee. Harris inspired Hibs to come from 3–0 down at half-time to win 4–3 in a 2012–13 Scottish Cup semi-final against Falkirk, as he scored the first Hibs goal and provided the second.
He missed most of the first half of the 2013–14 season due to an ankle injury. After returning to the Hibs first team in January 2014, Harris signed a new contract with the club.
Harris moved on loan to Dundee in January 2015, in exchange for Martin Boyle. He scored his first goal for Dundee on 10 January 2015, in a 4–1 win against Motherwell.
On 21 August 2015, Harris joined Queen of the South on loan for the rest of the 2015–16 season. He returned to Hibs for the 2016/17 season, but was again affected by injury. Harris left Hibs during the 2017 close season, at the end of his contract. Harris subsequently signed a two-year deal for Falkirk on 19 June 2017.
