**Ronni Harrison** is a footballer who played for **Hashtag United** (women).

Harrison started playing football at around the age of 7. She had two stints at youth level with Brightlingsea Regent, either side of a spell within the Colchester United centre of excellence. After time at those clubs, the forward played school football whilst attending Barking Abbey.

Harlow Town
Whilst attending Barking Abbey, Harrison signed with Harlow Town of the Eastern Region League - Premier Division. In 2018–19, on 9 December 2018, she came off the substitute's bench during a 3–2 home defeat in the league to Wymondham Town at the Harlow Arena. Across the first few months of 2019–20, Harrison played in games across league and cup with Wymondham Town, Wroxham and future team Bowers & Pitsea.

AFC Sudbury
After departing Harlow Town, Harrison soon joined AFC Sudbury's academy. She wouldn't make a competitive appearance at first-team level, though would later describe the move as "the best thing I have done educationally". Whilst with the *Yellows*, she attended trials at England Colleges FA level. Harrison remained attached with the club at youth level up until at least May 2021.

Bowers & Pitsea
Eastern Region League - Premier Division side Bowers & Pitsea became Harrison's next club during the 2019–20 campaign. After a 17 November 2019 appearance versus ex-club Harlow Town, the forward also appeared against Leigh Ramblers and Bedford in January and versus Wymondham Town in March. She left on dual terms to Charlton Athletic on 5 March 2020, just prior to the season's curtailment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Charlton Athletic
Just prior to the COVID-19 pandemic-enforced lockdown and following a successful trial, Harrison joined Championship side Charlton Athletic; linking up with their academy under manager Karl Davy. She debuted at U21 level off the bench in place of Shardonna'e Kekere-Ekun in a league loss at home to Crystal Palace on 8 March, which was their final match before the curtailment. In the subsequent 2020–21, Harrison made appearances at that same level versus Crystal Palace, Chichester & Selsey, Oxford United and Lewes before a second curtailment at the close of 2020.

Stevenage
Harrison reunited with former Charlton Athletic U21 manager Karl Davy on 27 August 2021, as the forward agreed to sign with National League - Division One South East outfit Stevenage. She had already made her competitive bow for the club on 15 August as she started a six-goal defeat on the road to Queens Park Rangers. In her seventh appearance, Harrison scored her first goal for *The Boro* on 31 October in a 2–2 home draw versus London Seaward. She netted again two matches later during an FA Cup first round victory away at Herts Vipers. Her last Stevenage appearance came on 28 November against Loughborough Lightning. Harrison left in December, later alluding to travel issues due to her distance away from the club.

### HTU

2021–22
On 17 December 2021, after training with the team following a recommendation from Stevenage manager Fadi Mazloum, Harrison was announced as a new signing for Jason Stephens' HTU. Her first appearance for *The Tags* arrived two days later as she was selected as a substitute for a National League - Division One South East match against Queens Park Rangers, with the player subsequently coming off the bench during a 3–1 victory on the road at the Powerday Stadium. That would be her one and only competitive senior appearance for HTU, as health issues saw her depart soon after.

### Post-HTU

AFC Sudbury
A return to AFC Sudbury was completed in early 2022. Her first Eastern Region League - Division One South appearance came on 3 April 2022 as they thrashed Barking 10–1 at home. Further appearances in 2021–22 followed against Cheshunt, Billericay Town Development, East Bergholt United and Hutton; the latter saw them win the league plate, which secured a treble for the club. To end 2022, in the first half of 2022–23, Harrison featured 7 times in the Premier Division.

## Style of Play

Whilst with Harlow Town, Harrison played as a right-back. At AFC Sudbury she functioned as a defensive midfielder, though at the time of signing with HTU Harrison had become a winger.
