Luke Harris (born 4 March 2005) is a professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for EFL League One club Exeter City, on loan from Fulham, and the Wales under-21 national team.
Born in Jersey, Harris attended St. Clement School on the island. He also attended Le Rocquier School as well as Coombe Boys' school. [3]
Harris received headlines when he scored a hat-trick in eleven minutes for Fulham’s under-23 side against Newcastle United under-23’s in February 2022.

[6] In September 2022 Harris was rewarded with a new professional contract with Fulham lasting until 2025, and began training daily with the first team squad. First team manager Marco Silva described him as “an offensive midfielder. He has one thing that is really important in football today — the ability to arrive in the box and score goals. It is something that is not easy to find in a midfielder, to be in the right spots. He has it. It’s up to us to keep working with him and to make him grow in the other aspects. That will be important for him.” [7] Harris made his Premier League debut on 20 October 2022 appearing as a substitute in a 3–0 home win over Aston Villa. [8]
In February 2023, Harris was awarded the 'Rising Star Award' at the 2022 Channel Islands Sports Awards. [9]
