Career & Clubs
Chelsea
Harley started his career with Chelsea, making his debut against Derby County in April 1998. Despite some impressive performances, especially in the 1999–2000 season, during which he was a member of Chelsea's FA Cup winning squad, albeit as an unused substitute in the final, he was unable to establish himself in the London side. He ultimately made 42 appearances for Chelsea and scored two goals, both of which were winners in the 1999–2000 FA Premier League against future club Watford and Leeds United. He also had a loan spell with Wimbledon, where he scored twice, both goals coming in a 4–0 win over Crewe Alexandra on his debut. In his final season at Chelsea, Harley was third choice behind Celestine Babayaro and Graeme Le Saux.
Fulham
He signed for newly promoted Fulham in August 2001 for £3.5million. Harley was equally unable to establish himself in the Fulham side, despite a somewhat outstanding goal against Aston Villa, in which he beat Peter Enckelman with a 40-yard strike. This was the only goal he achieved in 19 league starts over three seasons. He joined Sheffield United and later West Ham United on loan where he scored once, in a 3–3 draw against Sheffield United on his debut.
Sheffield United
He joined Sheffield United permanently in June 2004 on a free transfer, playing regularly and scoring two goals.
Burnley
A year later he moved to Burnley in a deal for just £75,000 initially, with further payments linked to…
