Glamorgan welcomed back the 20-year-old all- rounder for their LV= County Championship match against Gloucestershire, which started at Cardiff's Swalec Stadium this morning.
Following the disappointing opening defeat to Leicestershire at Grace Road — Harris was rested for that 89-run loss — the return of one of county cricket's most exciting young prospects will be a welcome fillip for the new regime of skipper Alviro Petersen and coach Matthew Mott.
Harris's 63 first-class wickets last season played a major part in pushing Glamorgan to the cusp of promotion to the top tier of the four-day game — a quest cruelly ended on the final day of the season.
However, that disappointment was tempered when Harris found himself selected for the seven-match trip to the West Indies.
On typically flat Caribbean tracks the Pontarddulais seamer found wickets hard to come by, taking 14 in all.
But the fact he was a regular pick on the tour was testament to some impressive performances with the new ball, while a couple of half centuries with the bat did his case for genuine all-rounder status no harm at all.
"I got a few runs in the West Indies, which was nice, but I'd have liked to take a few more wickets," admitted Harris.
