Harrison secures loan move

Tuesday 22 July 2025 10:15

Goalkeeper Elyh Harrison has joined Shrewsbury Town of League Two on loan for the 2025/26 season.

The 19-year-old shot-stopper will relish his second loan move, having enjoyed an impressive six-month spell with Chester in the National League North in 2024/25.

After 18 appearances with the Seals, Harrison returned to United in January to represent the club’s Under-21s and was part of the senior matchday squad for the first time in February as an unused substitute.

Harrison was named Denzil Haroun Reserve-Team Player of the Year in 2024.

Elyh joined United in 2022 from Stevenage and developed well in our Under-18s squad, showing quality and bravery with the ball at his feet as well as fine shot-stopping abilities.

His displays across the 2023/24 season were particularly impressive, as he helped the U18s to an unprecedented trio of trophies, earning the Denzil Haroun Reserve-Team Player of the Year award as a result.

An England Under-19 international, Harrison will play at Shrewsbury under Michael Appleton, a United Academy graduate who won the same Player of the Year award at United in 1996. He went on to make two first-team appearances in his time at Old Trafford, before permanent spells with Preston North End and West Bromwich Albion.

Good luck at New Meadow, Elyh!
