Elyh Harrison was on the bench for Man Utd against Crystal Palace but fruitful loan at Chester FC has been key to his astronomic rise to first-team.
Elyh Harrison had picked up an important clean sheet for Chester but his celebrations were short-lived.
“He approached it with real humility, and threw himself into it. It’s really important for anyone who is going to be a professional, first and foremost, is they are that - professional.” Two weeks later, Burke’s towering header cemented just a second win in eight matches in all competitions for the Seals. But it proved to be a turning point with Chester losing one in eight games, until Harrison’s recall in early January.
Within a matter of weeks, an injury to Cam Mason opened the door to a move and for the Seals, it was a no-brainer who was on the agenda. McIntyre said: “He more than hit the ground running. Goalkeepers at this level, talented ones, can be hard to find - we pride ourselves on it. “When he came in to train, he hit the ground running. There were areas to improve on, there always will be for a ‘keeper of such a young age.
“The opportunity to play games of men’s football hugely improves," says Ebbrell. "There’s a lot of goalkeepers who are good trainers but you need to go play football against different opposition, different styles, different grounds or crowds. Harrison has 'unbelievable pedigree' at United One hundred and three league places in the English football pyramid separate Chester and Manchester United. However, the move to the sixth tier of English football provided Harrison with a new and different dynamic.
"Equally, he deals with the other side of the game for a goalkeeper that isn’t 6ft5, 6ft6, he commands his box really well. The biggest thing I picked up on is that there’s a real maturity about him. There were nine clean sheets to accompany Harrison’s 23 appearances for the club and in doing so, etched his name in the history books as the youngest goalkeeper to represent the club. Throughout the conversations with Ebbrell and McIntyre, the 18-year-old’s impact stretched far beyond the shot-stopping and distribution on the pitch - but also the mental fortitude for a player beyond his years.
