Garry Monk has brought in some youth with the signing of Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Izzy Brown, while Chey Dunkley has added some experience to the ranks following his switch from relegated Wigan Athletic.
Harris, who played a big role for Wednesday in his debut season at Hillsborough in 2019/20, knows the challenge ahead, and the sort of player that the club need in order to make a good go of it.

The additions that have been brought in are definitely the right sort of people. They've settled in well, and they are the right sort of players – hungry players that want to impress. That's the most important thing, to get that hunger in the squad.”
Meanwhile, regarding Dele-Bashiru specifically, Harris said, “He's a very good player, box-to-box player, he brings a lot of energy into the team and he's real hungry. He's come from that Man City team where he wasn't really given that opportunity in the first team because of the quality that team has. But he's come here hungry to impress and really get his career underway. He's impressed so far and I'm sure he will do during the season as it goes on.”
Harris was handed a starting berth for the 0-0 draw against Leicester City at Loughborough University over the weekend, and gave a good account of himself before coming off in the second half among many changes by both the Owls and their Premier League opponents.
The 27-year-old hasn’t scored for SWFC since bagging against Birmingham City back in November, but he’ll be hoping to get a chance to end his dry spell in front of goal if given the chance against Walsall in the Carabao Cup on Saturday afternoon.
