He graduated City&#8217;s youth academy in July of 2022 and has gone on to play for their U19 and U18 sides. His primary position is that of a central midfielder. However, the teenager enjoys playing up the field and has been utilized as an attacking midfielder as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/01\/29\/english-premier-league-sponsorship\/\" target=\"_self\">How EPL Clubs Make Money From Sponsorship<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What is evident in Harrison&#8217;s playing style is that he is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballfancast.com\/newcastle-transfer-news-agreed-deal-to-sign-alfie-harrison-medical-booked\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;rising star&#8221;<\/a>.
