Recently released by Carlisle United midfielder Jayden Harris has signed for Sutton United.
The Croydon-born midfielder becomes Steve Morison’s fourth signing of the summer.
The 24-year old’s time at Brunton Park saw him make 18 appearances as the Cumbrians won promotion to League One via the play-offs. But he managed just four games in the higher flight and went to the National League on loan with Eastleigh.
He played 14 times in all competitions for the Spitfires and returned to his parent club when the move expired in January, departing by mutual consent in June after being unable to break back into the Carlisle first team.
A product of the Fulham academy, Harris arrived at Craven Cottage at the age of ten and rose through the ranks, making his debut for the Under-18 squad aged 15 before being selected as part of an Under-19 squad that travelled to the United States, gaining a runners-up medal in the Dallas Cup.
After signing a two-year scholarship with the club in 2016, Harris continued his development and would make several appearances on the bench for Fulham’s first team during the 2019/20 season.
He then experienced his first taste of senior football, playing three times during a one-month loan spell at Woking in 2020.
The midfielder later became the first player to make 100 appearances for the Whites’ Under-23 squad but departed in 2021 in search of first team football, joining Aldershot Town.
Featuring 33 times during the 2021/22 campaign as the Shots narrowly avoided relegation, his time at the EBB Stadium saw him enjoy regular senior football for the first time in his career barring a brief temporary switch to Hampton & Richmond Borough at the start of the season.
Harris then found himself in League Two the following season when Carlisle United took him to Cumbria.
