Former Newcastle prospect Alfie Harrison joins Dundee

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 8 Oct, 17:19 · Archive

Alfie Harrison, released by Newcastle United last summer after failing to make a competitive debut, has signed for Scottish Premiership club Dundee.

Alfie Harrison, once signed by Newcastle United in 2024, has joined Scottish Premiership club Dundee after three months without a club. The former Manchester City youngster was brought to Newcastle for an undisclosed fee, with some reports suggesting it was a seven-figure sum. He was released last summer without playing in a competitive match, appearing only in friendly games under manager Eddie Howe.

Harrison signed for Dundee following a trial period of several weeks. Speaking after completing the move, he said: 'I've loved every bit of my trial. From the first day I stepped into the building, it felt like the right atmosphere. It was somewhere I wanted to show what I'm about, and now hopefully I can push on and keep doing my thing.'

Dundee manager Steven Pressley confirmed that injury to existing players forced the club back into the transfer market late in the window. Pressley said Harrison 'has worked really hard' during his trial and expressed confidence in his addition to the squad.
