Neil Harris Departs Millwall, Future Return Not Ruled Out

The recent loss to Middlesbrough on Saturday marked the conclusion of the most recent phase in Neil Harris’s extensive career with Millwall; however, a future reappearance of the club’s record goalscorer at The Den would not be unexpected. This perspective is shared by Phil Parry, a sport editor and commentator for BBC Radio London, who has observed Harris’s career trajectory since commencing his reporting on Millwall in 2000, which was two years after Harris, then a 20-year-old striker, initially joined the team. Having first arrived in 1998, Harris has dedicated a total of 17 years to the club, serving both as a player and a coach. Despite multiple departures from The Den, he has consistently returned to the club. “Millwall got under Neil’s skin. He went away as a player, he came back. He went away as a manager, he came back,” Parry said.”This is so long but I don’t think it’s goodbye. It wouldn’t surprise anyone if Millwall find themselves in a difficult situation in the future and (if) Neil was available they would turn to him to come and do something – it’s his football club.”
