In 1992, Harris moved to Western Australia, and secured a contract to play with West Perth in the WAFL. Harris quickly became a star player at West Perth. In 1995, his best season for West Perth, Harris was club captain, won the Breckler Medal as best and fairest, captained the team to its first premiership since 1975, and won the Simpson Medal as best on ground in the team's 56-point Grand Final win over Subiaco. He captained the WAFL representative team in 1996, and was ultimately named in the West Perth Team of the Decade for 1994-2003.
