Returning to the United States, Harris joined his old club Michigan Bucks in the USL Premier Development League for the 2011 season. He played his first game back with the Bucks on June 10, a 2-1 win over Forest City London.[6]

In 2014, Harris joined Detroit City FC, making 17 appearances between 2014 and 2015 as a defender.[7] After the 2015 season, a supporter podcast for the club named him Detroit City FC's "Breakout Player of the Year."[8]
