Biography

Loosehead prop Harrison Courtney joins Doncaster Knights from Scottish United Rugby Championship [URC] side Edinburgh.

The New Zealander, who grew up in Hamilton, is a product of Hamilton Boys’ High School’s First XV – a team which he captained in his youth. Additionally, he played in the Sanix World Rugby Youth Invitational event in Japan.

Following his school days, Harrison gained a scholarship to Lincoln University in Christchurch before going on to be involved with Canterbury throughout the 2019 season – playing against Wellington in the Mitre 10 Cup Semi-Final.

The prop then headed to the northern hemisphere as he joined Edinburgh on a partnership deal with Super6 side Watsonians in the summer of 2021. Debuting at Rodney Parade on the road to Dragons in November 2021, Harrison went on to make a further 8 appearances for the Scottish capital side.

The 26-year-old front rower is keen to learn and develop his skills in the Knights environment.
