Ryan Harper (born 16 April 1987) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a striker.
Football career
Born in Barrhead, East Renfrewshire, Harper spent his entire senior career in Spain where he arrived at the age of seven, but competed mainly in the lower leagues. He represented UD Fuengirola Los Boliches, Polideportivo Ejido B, CD Villanueva, Fútbol Alcobendas Sport, Unión Estepona CF, Real Betis B (he even signed a professional contract with the Verdiblancos, but never appeared official for the first team), CD Guadalajara, CF Fuenlabrada and Algeciras CF.
Harper only played at the professional level with Guadalajara. On 10 September 2011 he made his Segunda División debut, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–1 home win against SD Huesca; he scored in the following round, helping to a 3–3 draw at Villarreal CF B, but suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury to his left knee shortly after, going to miss the vast majority of the season.
Personal life
Harper’s brothers, Jack and Mac, were also footballers.
