Like his father, Scottish internationalist Christian, Harvey began his career at Dundee United and is also a defender. He signed up at Tannadice in 2015 and made his competitive debut in the Challenge Cup in August 2017 - the first of three appearances in a tangerine jersey. Following his release from United early in 2018, Harvey joined up at the Glebe in the summer, making his debut as a sub against Dundee in the Betfred Cup.


Harvey was subsequently loaned to local junior side Carnoustie Panmure in October 2018.
