The ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐น๐๐ฏ are delighted to announce that English international ๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ has signed on for the 2026/27 season.
Harris, a former ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐น๐ ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฟ, only made the transition to the more traditional lawn bowls format six years ago. Since then, his rise has been remarkable, claiming ๐บ๐๐น๐๐ถ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น and ๐ข๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐น๐ฒ๐, which recently earned him ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ in the ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐.
Having arrived in Melbourne just a week ago, Harris spoke about what he is most looking forward to โIโm ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ผ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐๐ป๐ถ๐๐ to come to Australia and play in as many major events as I can. Once I saw the new ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ, I was in awe โ itโs ๐๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ. Iโve met a lot of the guys at the club already and theyโve really welcomed me in. I canโt wait for the season to begin.โ
Deer Park Club Head of Bowls Operations Mark Casey spoke glowingly about the clubโs latest recruit โI really feel Ben is someone who will add so much value to our mix. Heโs been at the club most days already and has quickly become a favourite amongst the group. Bowls-wise, ๐ต๐ฒโ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ฐ๐น๐ฎ๐๐, so we know he will be a ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ for us, but itโs his ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ต๐๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐๐บ and ๐น๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐ that will really give us a boost. Heโs ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ and we canโt wait to watch him in action.โ
The Deer Park Club warmly welcomes Ben and looks forward to an exciting year ahead in the Blue & Gold.
