Born in the Small Heath district of Birmingham, Harvey was a sergeant in the Army stationed at Lichfield when Small Heath signed him.[3] He made his debut in the First Division on 25 March 1905, deputising for Charlie Tickle at outside right in a home game against Sunderland which finished as a 1–1 draw,[4] and played once more for the first team, two years later,[5] before moving into non-league football with Leek and then with Shrewsbury Town.[3]

Notes

  1. Small Heath was renamed Birmingham ahead of the 1905–06 season.[1]
