Club career
After being released by Stevenage Borough as a youth player, Harvey played semi-professional football for Eastleigh, as well as Whitsunday Miners in Australia.[1]
Managerial career
After graduating with a Masters in Sports Coaching from Loughborough University, Harvey worked at a number of English clubs as a youth coach. His first foray into management came in Australia, where he managed Brisbane Strikers, Whitsunday Miners and most notably Western Pride.[2]
Following his managerial stints in Australia, Harvey was appointed assistant manager at Hong Kong club Eastern.[2] He left this role in 2019 and returned to Australia joining Redlands United as their technical director.[3] He also went on to work as assistant for the China women's under-16 football team, as well as the Guam national football team.[2]
In June 2021, he was appointed manager of Filipino side Kaya–Iloilo under a short-term contract to lead the club's debut campaign in the AFC Champions League.[4] His first game in charge was the play-off round, where they defeated Shanghai Port 1–0 to qualify for the competition proper.[5] However, Kaya lost all their matches in Group F, which contained defending champions Ulsan Hyundai, Thai League 1 champions BG Pathum United, and V.League 1 champions Viettel FC.[6][7] At the end of his contract, Harvey returned to Redlands United.[8]
