Harry George Kite (born 29 June 2000) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League club Yeovil Town.
Kite joined the Exeter City Academy at the under-9 stage, and went on to make his first-team debut on 29 August 2017, coming on as a ninth-minute substitute for Luke Croll in a 3–1 EFL Trophy group stage defeat to Yeovil Town at St James Park. [3]
On 16 August 2019, Kite was loaned out to Taunton Town for three months. [4] On 30 October Exeter confirmed, that the deal had been extended until January. [5] On 9 January 2020, the deal was extended once again, this time until the end of the season. [6]
He scored his first goal for Exeter in an EFL Trophy tie against Swindon Town on 6 October 2020. [7] Injuries to Nigel Atangana and Archie Collins saw Kite become a regular in the first team at the start of the 2021–22 season, and he went on to score his first League goal for Exeter in a 4–1 victory over Bristol Rovers on 21 August 2021. [8]
In April 2024, manager Gary Caldwell confirmed that Kite would leave the club at the end of the 2023–24 season. [9]
Following his departure from the club, Kite suffered a hamstring injury in October 2024 that required surgery, being allowed to return to Exeter City for his rehabilitation as he continued to search for a new club. [10]
On 28 March 2025, Kite signed for National League side Yeovil Town on a short-term deal until the end of the 2024–25 season. [11]
Kite is an energetic midfielder with a good passing range and long-range shooting ability. [12]
