Harding is 20, plays as a central defender and is Scottish. His career has been built around Dundee United development, a loan to Kelty Hearts in 2024-25, a return to Dundee United in January 2025 and a further loan to Dunfermline Athletic in July 2026. The trajectory is still early-stage, with one recorded goal in 2024-25 and cup exposure in 2025-26.
