Club career edit

Young Lions edit

Hariss began his career along with Young Lions in the S.League in 2007. He became the youngest S-League player in 2007, aged 16 years 3 months and 18 days. The Football Association of Singapore had granted Hariss special dispensation from a rule that allowed players only of 18 years and above to play.

In August 2007, he was Singapore's winner of Nike's 'Who's The Next' contest and secured a training stint at FC Barcelona's famed academy, La Masia. He trained at the Catalans' youth academy for a week, along with 13 other players from six Asia Pacific countries including South Korea and Japan.[2] He captained the players in three friendly games against players from FC Barcelona's youth academy. Hariss impressed the trainers and returning a week later with the MVP award.[3]

2008 proved to be a difficult year for Hariss as he tore his ligaments in a league match against Super Reds on 26 May when Oh Ddog Yi fell on his right knee. The injury ruled him out for a year, causing him to miss the rest of Singapore's World Cup qualifying campaign as well as the 2008 ASEAN Football Championship.[4][5]

With the help of the Football Association of Singapore and the national team coach Raddy Avramovic, Hariss underwent a 10-day trial with Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua in July 2010, but was ultimately not offered a contract.[6]

Injury would strike Hariss again in 2010, when he suffered a right leg fracture in a match against India at the 2010 Asian Games on 11 November 2010.[7] The duration of six weeks that Hariss required for the recovery of his fracture eventually meant that he missed out on a second consecutive ASEAN Football Championship.

Hariss' performances were recognized with the S.League Young Player of the Year award in 2010.

LionsXII edit

In December 2011, Hariss was called up to join LionsXII to compete in the 2012 Malaysia Super League. He made his LionsXII debut in a league match against Kelantan in January 2012.[8] His first goal came on the 19th minute against Sabah on 21 January. Hariss' goalscoring form against Sabah would continue when the stand-in captain scored his first career hat-trick in a record 9–0 win on 16 June.[9] He scored with a volley three minutes after Agu Casmir's 19th-minute opener and added a second in the 41st minute. He completed his hat-trick with a Shaiful Esah assist on 73 minutes only. Hariss made 34 appearances and scored 5 goals in all competitions as LionsXII finished runners-up in their first season back in Malaysian football.

Hariss missed the start of the 2013 season following a broken right fibula sustained in the 2012 ASEAN Football Championship match against Indonesia. He made his return as a 20th-minute substitute in a 3–0 Super League win over Pahang on 16 February.[10] His first goal of the season came three days later four minutes into a 2–2 draw with Johor Darul Ta'zim. Hariss played a pivotal role for the club as LionsXII capped the successful 2013 season as eventual champions of the Malaysia Super League with an unbeaten home record.

In July 2013, Hariss Harun rejected the offer of a contract from the Portuguese Primeira Liga side, Rio Ave.[11] National Service commitments and salary issues were speculated as reasons why the deal broke down, despite the help of Singapore billionaire Peter Lim and agent Jorge Mendes.[12] Mendes had been negotiating with clubs for one year for Hariss to further his career in Europe. Had Hariss moved abroad, Hariss would have followed the likes of former Singaporean internationals Fandi Ahmad and V. Sundramoorthy in playing for European clubs.

Johor Darul Ta'zim edit

Following Hariss' decision not to join Rio Ave, Malaysia Super League side Johor Darul Ta'zim moved quickly to confirm his signing in a two-year deal worth over US$20,000 (S$25,000) per month in November 2013.[13][14][15] On 11 February, Hariss scored his first goal for the club against Kedah in a Malaysia FA Cup match. 4 days later, Hariss scored his first league goal for the club in a Super League match against Selangor. In his first season, Hariss helped Johor win their first Malaysian Super League title. On 31 October 2015, he helped Johor Darul Ta'zim win the 2015 Malaysia Super League and their first 2015 AFC Cup Final against FC Istiklol in Tajikistan making him the first Singaporean to win the trophy. On 9 November 2015, Hariss signed a new 2-year contract with the club, with a monthly salary of US$30,000 (S$42,700) a month, making him the highest paid Singaporean footballer in history. He scored a header from a corner on the opening match day of the 2016 Malaysia Super League against Selangor FA which ended 1–1 with Johor Darul Ta'zim winning the 2016 Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Cup on penalties (7–6).

Loan to CE L'Hospitalet edit

On 2 February 2017, Hariss is about to join Spanish third-tier side, CE L'Hospitalet on a one-year loan deal,[16] becoming the first-ever Singaporean to play in the Spanish leagues.[17] He had been training with CE L'Hospitalet, but the move was cancelled 2 weeks after Hariss arrived in Spain due to a taxation problem for the Spanish side, resulting in them being unable to register new players. Hariss was left in the limbo as his parent club, JDT, had all their foreign players slots filled. Hariss returned to the S.League with JDT adamant that the move to CE L'Hospitalet will still go through in June.[18]

Loan to Home United edit

On 10 March 2017, Hariss returned to Singapore to join Home United on a 3-month loan deal.[19] He made his debut for The Protectors on 1 April in a top of the table clash against Albirex Niigata (S) in a 2–2 draw.[20] Later throughout the season, Home United have extended their loan deal for the Lions star Hariss Harun until the end of this season.

Kontrak yang ditandatangani Hariss sebelum ini sepatutnya tamat pada tahun 2019 dan setelah membina kerjaya beliau di Johor sejak pertama kali menjejakkan kaki di sini pada tahun 2014, kedua-dua belah pihak inginkan lanjutan kontrak. Hariss kekal sebagai tonggak utama JDT dan akan mengetuai kelab dalam cabaran Liga Juara-Juara AFC yang bersejarah tahun hadapan. Harris merupakan salah seorang pemain Singapura yang terbaik yang pernah bermain di Malaysia. Kapten pasukan Singapura ini telah memenangi Liga Super sebanyak 5 kali dan juga beberapa piala lain termasuk Piala AFC pada tahun 2015. Dalam temubual terbaru bersama JOHOR Southern Tigers, Harris meluahkan perasaan berterima kasih dan menyatakan keinginan beliau untuk melihat JDT menuju ke tahap yang lebih tinggi lagi.

Hariss' previous deal was expiring in 2019 and having established himself in Johor since first arriving in 2014, both parties were eager to sign a new contract. Hariss remains integral to JDT and will lead the club into a historic AFC Champions League next year. Harris is among Singapore's finest imports to Malaysia. The Singapore captain has won the Super League five times and a host of Cup trophies, including the coveted 2015 AFC Cup. In a recent interview with JOHOR Southern Tigers, Harris expressed his gratitude and desire to see JDT climb greater heights. "I was just 24 when I came here to improve my game and help the team achieve things... the project was still in its early days. JDT has helped me in many ways. "Next year is massive for the club with the Champions League. A club of this stature must consistently play at that level, which is a huge step up," said Hariss.

  22. ^ "JOHOR Southern Tigers - HARISS HARUN, KETUA DI KEDUA-DUA BELAH TAMBAK Pemain tengah Kelab Bolasepak Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) bukanlah asing menjadi ketua pasukan dan memakai lilitan lengan Harimau Selatan adalah salah satu pencapaian beliau. Hariss Harun juga adalah kapten pasukan Singapura dan pernah mengetuai pelbagai pasukan sepanjang karier beliau sejak dari usia yang sangat muda, sesuatu yang pemain berusia 27 tahun itu percaya telah mematangkan beliau untuk menjadi pemain seperti hari ini. Hariss mengimbau kembali pengalaman beliau sebagai kapten, termasuk bagaimana rasanya mengetuai kelab bola sepak terbaik di negara yang secara tradisinya adalah musuh kepada negara kelahiran beliau sendiri. "Menjadi kapten Singapura untuk beberapa tahun ini adalah satu kebanggaan dan pada tahun ini, 'the Boss' (DYAM Mejar Jeneral Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Tunku Mahkota Johor) dan jurulatih memberikan kepercayaan kepada saya dan diberi peluang menyarung lilitan lengan JDT," kata Hariss. "Saya memahami sejarah di antara dua negara, tetapi saya terpaksa mengenepikan perbezaan warna passport. Saya pernah mengimpikan peluang menjadi kapten pasukan Singapura dan JDT dan perkara ini terjadi. Inilah yang dinamakan keindahan bola sepak". "Saya pernah menjadi kapten sejak dari zaman persekolahan saya dan ia banyak memberi kesan kepada saya. Saya belajar sejak dari usia yamg muda bahawa saya perlu menjadi contoh yang baik kepada pemain lain. Sekarang saya akan terapkan sifat ini kepada orang-orang di sekeliling saya." Hariss sudah menjadi tulang belakang kepada JDT sejak tahun 2014. Beliau berperanan memberi perlindungan kepada barisan pertahanan dan memberi kestabilan kepada bahagian tengah demi memastikan kejayaan pasukan. JDT telah memenangi rekod juara Liga Super Malaysia lima kali berturut-turut, Piala AFC 2015 dan lima lagi piala domestik sejak 2014. Hariss kini sudah memandang ke musim 2019, tahun di mana JDT bakal menjadi kelab Malaysia pertama bersaing dalam Liga Juara-Juara AFC, pertandingan terbaik untuk kelab-kelab Asia. "Saya baru berusia 24 tahun sewaktu tiba disini untuk memperbaiki corak permainan dan membantu pasukan mencapai sasaran... projek itu masih sama seperti peringkat permulaan. JDT telah banyak membantu saya dari pelbagai sudut." "Tahun hadapan adalah tahun yang penting buat kelab di Liga Juara-Juara AFC. Kelab besar seperti JDT ini, harus konsisten bermain di tahap tertinggi ini dan ini adalah satu langkah yang besar" kata Hariss. ——— HARISS HARUN, LEADER AT BOTH ENDS OF THE CAUSEWAY The Johor Darul Ta'zim FC midfielder is no stranger to being captain, and wearing the Southern Tigers armband is another feather to his cap. Hariss Harun is also the Singapore captain and has captained various sides throughout his career from a very young age, something that the 27-year-old believes has helped him mature into the player he is today. Hariss reflects on the captaincy, including how it is like captaining the leading football club of a country that has a rivalry with his own nation. "Being captain of Singapore for the past few years is an honour and this year, 'the Boss' (HRH Manor General Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim, Crown Prince of Johor) and coach entrusted and gave me the privilege of wearing the armband at JDT," said Hariss. "I understand the history between the two countries, but we can put aside the 'colour of our passports'. I have thought about being Singaporean and being captain of JDT but that's the beauty of football, these things happen. "I have been captain for teams since my school days and that has had an impact. I learnt from a young age that I needed to be a role model and that has been with me ever since. Now I try instilling it in the people around me." Hariss has been a mainstay at JDT since 2014, protecting the back-four and giving stability to the midfield as the club scaled to the top. JDT have won a record five consecutive Malaysia Super League titles, the 2015 AFC Cup and five domestic Cups since 2014. Hariss is looking forward to the 2019 season where JDT will become the first Malaysian club to play in the AFC Champions League, the continent's leading tournament. "I was just 24 when I came here to improve my game and help the team achieve things... the project was still in its early days. JDT has helped me in many ways. "Next year is massive for the club with the Champions League. A club of this stature must consistently play at that level, which is a huge step up," said Hariss.
